1
If I knew when I was young that I'd be older
2
There are so many things that I would've told you
3
But I didn't have a chance to tell you about it
4
Now I'm sitting here and the bar is crowded
5
So I'm gonna say it now to all my drunk friends
6
All good people come to their ends
7
Here's where we lift our glasses to you
8
Us and all these punks who never knew you
9
I used to sit alone in all my glory
10
Now I sit with friends and I tell them stories
11
About the way you were and the way you raised me
12
And all your stupid jokes that never phazed me
13
Here's where we lift our glasses to you
14
Us and all these punks who never knew you
15
So take a glass and drink it down
16
And when they ask you "Whiskey?" you say "Brown."
17
So take a glass and drink again
18
Yeah, toss one back for my old man
19
Yeah, all our friends are here; that's nothing new
20
The only thing that's missing here is you
21
One thing's for sure: You wouldn't want us crying
22
How's things up there? They're good on my end
23
I'll drink this Manhattan my friends bought me
24
Heavy on the whiskey like you taught me
25
Here's where we lift our glasses to you
26
Us and all these punks who never knew you
27
So take a glass and drink it down
28
And when they ask you "Whiskey?" you say "Brown."
29
So take a glass and drink again
30
Yeah, toss one back for my old man
31
So take a glass and drink it down
32
And when they ask you "Whiskey?" you say "Brown."
33
So take a glass and drink again
34
Yeah, toss one back, toss one back, toss one back for my old man
