He's the man with the banjo and the 12-string guitar And he's singing us the songs that tell us who we are When you look in his eyes you know that somebody's in there Yeah, he knows where we're going and where we been And how the fog is gettin' thicker where the future should begin When you look at his life you know that he's really been there Still, what is the name that they're calling that man? What is the name that they're calling that man? You know, it's always the "Old Folkie" They say he's always bleedin' But whenever somebody's needing him He's the one who cares It's always the "Old Folkie" Whenever somethin's burning Or a lesson needs some learning Or a tide that needs some turning To a better world somewhere Yeah, the "Old Folkie's" there Yeah, for forty years now he's been pushin' on Carrying the dream 'cause Woody's long gone He's the last voice singing that "Bound for Glory" song And if you never seen him you might take a look He's the man who put the meaning in the music book Yeah, the world may be tired but Pete's still going strong Still, what is the name that they're calling that man? What is the name that they're calling that man? You know, it's always the "Old Folkie" They say he's always bleedin' But whenever somebody's needing him He's the one who cares It's always the "Old Folkie:' Whenever somethin's burning Or a lesson needs some learning Or a tide that needs some turning To a better world somewhere, yeah, the "Old Folkie's" there What is the name that they're calling that man? What is the name that they're calling that man
