    Yep. Get Off My Lawn.

    This song I sent to my college sweetheart. Of course she responded, because that's who I am.

    However, It made me curious as to how often this happens.

    Oh yeah, and the song.

    "I'm tired of living
    But I'm scared of dying
    But that ol' man river
    just keeps rolling along."

    The timing of this thread is disrespectful.

    The oldest living person in the world (a woman, Chiyo Miyako) finally died at age 117, and all you can think of is honoring Old Man Songs.

    What exactly do these sentences mean? How did you send a song to your girlfriend? And she responded because you are the kind of person who would send her a song? Or because you are like the subject of the song? Totally confused by the sentences.

    Love me the occasional trip down memory lane with 1970's pop and country.

    Unsure about the intended direction of this thread, so maybe this song doesn't fit.

    Stand by me. the first song I learned to play on my violin.


    The compadres might know this one, "Mi Viejo". It gives me the feels knowing my father would listen to this song thinking about his father. Now I'm at that age doing the same.

    Mailed her a cassette in 1981, and I really want to know what the rest of his mixtape was.

    I'm assuming this was before Fatty's time sidelining as a country singer, 'cause if not then all bets are off.

    allow me to translate, as an Old Man:

    It means he found a college sweetheart on Facebook (or other) and tested his manliness to see if he could PM her and get a response (using a link to a nostalgic song they had in common), and she did, "because he's that kind of guy" who old gf's still like enough to respond (ie., don't hate).

    Fatty: the true test of "because I'm that kind of guy" is when the old GF initiates the poke and response from her end, from seeking *you* out. Stories of you initiating it are "meh."​

    When the hell did Fatty get so old?

    **** I am expecting to hear he falls to sleep watching reruns of SOAP and Maude.

    More stories of sex with teenage strippers and ripping off a cartel boss and less stories about your favorite antacid.

    Why do I got a feeling this is the real song you wanted to send her
