Follow the puck and square your shoulders And be sure that glove is always open If you're out at night and the booze is flowin' Better call a ride or wait till mornin' If you don't outdo me I'll kill you kid Then I would laugh and he would grin But I'm older now and life's set in And I realize how hard that is I know that everyone's got some regrets But I could do a hell of a lot worse than Becoming my old man Becoming my old man His uncle taught 'em when they were small If someone messed with one he'd have to fight 'em all To never throw a punch just 'cause you can They'll always be someone you're not tougher than I was too young to understand That I could do a hell of a lot worse than Becoming my old man Becoming my old man Becoming my old man Go sit and talk with your grandad For the day will come when you wish you had Try to find the good in what he says Sing him a song and share a laugh I was far too young when mine passed I never got the chance to tell him that I could do a hell of a lot worse than Becoming my old man Becoming my old man Becoming mg old man
