I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen years   He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tears   He left one day before his late night drives   He said everybody's gotta make a sacrifice   So he replaced the old girl for a boat named Jen   He thought if anyone could love her   Well he was the man      He said my only fear is growing old alone   I've gotta get a lover for this telephone   It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young   But I don't want to grow old alone      Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so true   She was appraised at fifty-one grand or two   It didn't matter that she took every dime that he had   He had to get off the water and live by the land      He said my only fear is growing old alone   I've gotta get a lover for this telephone   It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young   But I don't want to grow old alone      When I spoke about Jen a tear flowed from his eye   It was the first and last time I saw a grown man cry   He said believe it or not I'm not scared to die   But I don't want to grow old alone      He said my only fear is growing old alone   I've gotta get a lover for this telephone   It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young   But I don't want to grow old alone
