Back Forty Project - Old Man Nagel (Remaster)

Out back where the river flows
Lives a man among the trees
On a moonlight night you could hear the melodies
As the song carries on the breeze
You could sit out in your front yard
And watch the tone as it passed
You could tell that he was having fun
Singing songs of new and and past

You could hear it
Loud and clear
Old man was jammin
And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore
You knew what you were getting from the first chord
A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues
To pick just one there's no way I could choose
When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes

It didn't matter if it was a weekday
Or even the time of night
I wish I could seen the old man jam
Bet it was one hell of a site
The inflection in his voice
And the tone in that guitar
But you know that it was all for fun
He didn't really want to be a star

You could hear it
Loud and clear
Old man was jammin
And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore
You knew what you were getting from the first chord
A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues
To pick just one there's no way I could choose
When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes

Now that the days have past
I wonder what he's doing now
I drove past the old farm
And there's nothing but a rush old plow
Time can take the great ones
But their music lives on
Sometimes I think of Old Man Nagel
And I think about his songs

You could hear it
Loud and clear
Old man was jammin
And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore
You knew what you were getting from the first chord
A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues
To pick just one there's no way I could choose
When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes
