Bo Wigger - Old Man's Philosophy

Once I met in the railway hall a man who came from Burma
He was sixty-seven, his face was hard as stone
He said that when he was young he sailed nine years on the sea
And he was a soldier in the army for a while

I asked him, do you have a home
He said, my home is everywhere
I lost my whole family
I left them all behind

I have no friends so I’m all alone, but it doesn’t matter
I tell you only this make the best of your life
Don’t think about tomorrow, that’s all bullshit
When you wake up in the morning love the day and have fun

Money is not that important to me
Rich people die and lose their money
Famous men have died and many will die
All you have is your life

So I have no money and don’t know where to go
When I have tea and cigarettes, then I feel okay
