How did you feel
When you stood on the mountain top?
Did you realize divine love?
Did your heart stop for just one beat?
The majestic panoramic view
What did that reveal to you?
How did you feel
When you stood on the mountain top?
It’s good to be with you tonight, old timer
Your eyes are bright
And I’m so glad you’re still around
You did swing the pick
But you’re no fools gold miner
A rich man by true measure
And I hope to find the treasure that you found
When did you know
You were only human after all?
Did you realize everyone is shankin’ the ball
Like duffers do?
Dad, I’m hearing every word you say
Over Napa Cabernet
When did you know
You were only human after all?
It’s good to be with you tonight, old timer
Your eyes are bright
And I’m so glad you’re still around
You did swing the pick
But you’re no fools gold miner
A rich man by true measure
And I hope to find the treasure that you found
In the cold, hard ground
In the cold, hard ground
The sun is fading in your sky, old timer
Your blood will flow in my veins
When you’re not around
It’s good to be with you tonight, old timer
Your eyes are bright
And I’m so glad you’re still around
You did swing the pick
But you’re no fools gold miner
A rich man by true measure
And I hope to find the treasure that you found
In the cold, hard ground
I hope to find the treasure that you found
Old timer
