[00:19.22]
[00:21.92]He said I turned 65 about 11 months ago
[00:27.21]
[00:30.07]I was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey down
[00:37.84]
[00:38.73]When this old gray black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge
[00:47.03]
[00:49.52]There wasn't anyone around except this old man and me
[00:57.43]
[00:59.25]The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironside on TV
