Sending the old man home
2
By: jimmy buffett
3
1979
4
They're sendin' the old man home
5
Back where the buffalo roam
6
Out in the pacific, they say he was the best
7
Now he's in his "civies", headin' home like all the rest
8
He'll never forget rosa lee
9
Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea
10
He'll only have the memories
11
Or great books by james jones
12
'cause they're sendin' the old man home
13
Faraway (faraway)
14
Faraway (faraway)
15
Another life so very far away
16
They'll tear down the officers clubs
17
And write off the overdue subs
18
So let's drink to their memories
19
Our heroes and our pals
20
To those crazy navy flyers
21
To those swell hawaiian gals
22
The sailors will dance in the street
23
Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet
24
We'll only have the picture books
25
Of land, and sea, and foam
26
'cause they're sendin' the old man home
27
He'll only have his memories
28
Or great books by james jones
29
'cause they're sendin' the old man home
