Ken's Song
I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen yearsÂÂ
He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tearsÂÂ
He left one day before his late night drivesÂÂ
He said everybody's gotta make a sacrificeÂÂ
So he replaced the old girl for a boat named JenÂÂ
He thought if anyone could love herÂÂ
Well he was the manÂÂ
He said my only fear is growing old aloneÂÂ
I've gotta get a lover for this telephoneÂÂ
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm youngÂÂ
But I don't want to grow old aloneÂÂ
Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so trueÂÂ
She was appraised at fifty-one grand or twoÂÂ
It didn't matter that she took every dime that he hadÂÂ
He had to get off the water and live by the landÂÂ
He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone
When I spoke about Jen a tear flowed from his eyeÂÂ
It was the first and last time I saw a grown man cryÂÂ
He said believe it or not I'm not scared to dieÂÂ
But I don't want to grow old aloneÂÂ
He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone
He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tearsÂÂ
He left one day before his late night drivesÂÂ
He said everybody's gotta make a sacrificeÂÂ
So he replaced the old girl for a boat named JenÂÂ
He thought if anyone could love herÂÂ
Well he was the manÂÂ
He said my only fear is growing old aloneÂÂ
I've gotta get a lover for this telephoneÂÂ
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm youngÂÂ
But I don't want to grow old aloneÂÂ
Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so trueÂÂ
She was appraised at fifty-one grand or twoÂÂ
It didn't matter that she took every dime that he hadÂÂ
He had to get off the water and live by the landÂÂ
