[00:14.22]How old do you think I am he said
[00:16.45]
[00:17.83]I said well I didn't know
[00:19.24]
[00:21.94]He said I turned 65 about 11 months ago
[00:27.22]
[00:30.09]I was sittin' in Miami pouring blended whiskey down
[00:37.85]
[00:38.74]When this old gray black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge
[00:47.05]
[00:49.54]There wasn't anyone around except this old man and me
[00:57.45]
[00:59.27]The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironside on TV

[02:10.68]
[02:12.89]And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down
[02:20.59]
[02:22.13]He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime
