Dirty Old Man Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm a dirty old man
I do what I can
Trying to make a living
I'm a dirty old man

[Verse 1]
I like to get hammered
On Friday night
Sometimes I can't wait
So Monday's alright
It's a battle with the bottle
I'll win it alright
But I lost another round
In the bar last night

[Chorus]
I'm a dirty old man
I do what I can
Trying to make a living
I'm a dirty old man

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm going to get fired
For drinking on the job
Got caught with the boss' wife
In the parking lot
I'm going to get killed
For doing this again
But I just can't help it
It's under my skin

See Neil Young Live

Get tickets as low as $28

[Chorus]
I'm a dirty old man
I do what I can
I'm going to get hammered
And do it again

[Chorus]
I'm a dirty old man
I do what I can
I'm trying to make a living
I'm a dirty old man

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Got a bag of frozen peas
I use on my knees
I injured from begging
And trying to please
If you believe that
I'm losing my fat
Got a workout program
And a new rubber mat

[Chorus]
I'm a dirty old man
I do what I can
I'm trying to make a living
I'm a dirty old man
I'm a dirty old man

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
It's a battle with the bottle
I'll win it alright
But I lost another round
In the bar last night
I'm a dirty old man
