Old Marines Lyrics

Said I won't settle down

Won't become some lonely father

Who wastes his life working harder

Than he loved

You'll prove me a fool

Though my heart my stray from tune

It will return back to you

Where it belongs

No, we won't fall asleep

Yeah, time is just a memory

When the years have stripped away my luck

I'll need you, you to hold me up

I'll need you, you to hold me up

When we're eighty-three

Drunk on scotch like old marines

Stitched up laughing, thick as thieves

Until the end

No, we won't fall asleep

Yeah, time is just a memory

When the years have stripped away my luck

I'll need you, you to hold me up

I'll need you, you to hold me up

I will hold your hand

Where the water meets the sand

Looking out to whatever's left

There to find

No, we won't fall asleep

Yeah, time is just a memory

When the years have stripped away my luck

I'll need you, you to hold me up

No, we won't fall asleep

Yeah, time is just a memory

When the years have stripped away my luck

I'll need you, you to hold me up

I'll need you, you to hold me up

I got you, you to hold me up
