lyrics

There's a brand new song for the old folks
It's a song about forgetting and a song that don't get sung
There's a brand new song for the old folks
It's a song that don't pay no mind to all the things they done

Now if Grandma starts to cryin' you know she must be crazy
and if Grandpa's telling stories, well you know he must be lyin'
Put 'em in a home out of sight out of mind
but you'll know how they feel
when your time comes to be the one
the one that's left behind

Well the bills are too damn high and the children cost too much
and you couldn't find the room, well even if you tried
they're probably better off with folks of their own kind
but you'll know how they feel
when your time comes to be the one
the one that's left behind

Now if Grandma starts to cryin' you know she must be crazy
and if Grandpa's telling stories, well you know he must be lyin'
Put 'em in a home out of sight out of mind
but you'll know how they feel
when your time comes to be the one
the one that's left behind

Yeah you'll know how they feel
when your time comes to be the one
the one that's left behind
