Just Like You A

Hector Brown, he lives on a farm
Been a farmer all his life
Till he had to slow down, his heart broke down
He went under a surgeon's knife

And the four kids that he raised
They all live so far from home
And since his wife died last December
Hector's all alone


And if you don't think an old man
Could be alone and blue
Let me tell you my friend
He's just like you
Ethel Kline, she lives in the city
The landlord lives out of town
When the cold wind blows, it chills her
Her backache gets her down

So she reads by day, sleeps by night
She never goes nowhere
And scarcely anybody
Even know's she's there

Well I know it's not so long ago
You were only twenty-one
But time moves only one way
You won't always be young

And if you don't think, when you get old
You can be alone and blue
Let me tell you my friend
You've got some thinking to do
