Corb Lund – El Viejo (for Ian) Lyrics

El Viejo, friend of mine
I think you left us just in time
They’re outta vodka, no more wine
I think you left us just in time

You know I hate to see you leave
But it ain’t no secret you believed
You was meant for earlier days
Wilder times freer range

So I know
You was likely to go
I it’s easier in time
those of us you left behind

ain’t dealin’ in anymore
they’d pay you to playin’ for
All’s I was to casino floor
Nobody seventeen playin’ dealer that’s for assured)
seventeen Commercial’s closed its doors)

ami
blues, indeed
You know did could
But was off wood

played most of songs
But you gone
That some to fill
not will

But on side
Outside Circle guys
still tearin’ Star
Capriola’s ain’t far

ain’t dealin’ in anymore
they’d pay you to playin’ for
All’s I was to casino floor
Nobody seventeen playin’ dealer that’s for assured)
seventeen Commercial’s closed its doors)
