前幾天，在HBO看了一部由Clint Eastwood ( 克林伊斯威特 ) 自導自演的影片《The Mule》( 台譯：賭命轉運手 )，Mule一般指的是「騾子」，而也有將毒品走私犯或運毒者稱之為mule。影片改編自真人真事，講的是一位90歲的越戰退伍老兵，替墨西哥毒販開車運毒的故事。雖然算不上是什麼精彩大片，而至少讓台長我撐著想睡，但還是將全片給看完。在影片將結束時，就出現了這首《Don't Let The Old Man In》。

 

Toby Keith & Clint Eastwood

「Don't Let The Old Man In」在此處以中文來說，應該是「不要讓自己老化」。要「活」就要「動」，這類的話語，恐怕只有在意健康的中老年人才聽得進吧！

現場版

Don't let the old man in, I wanna leave this alone

Can't leave it up to him, he's knocking on my door
And I knew all of my life, that someday it would end
Get up and go outside, don't let the old man in
Many moons I have lived
My body's weathered and worn
Ask yourself how old you'd be
If you didn't know the day you were born
Try to love on your wife
And stay close to your friends
Toast each sundown with wine
Don't let the old man in
Many moons I have lived
My body's weathered and worn
Ask yourself how old you'd be
If you didn't know the day you were born
When he rides up on his horse
And you feel that cold bitter wind
Look out your window and smile
Don't let the old man in
Look out your window and smile
Don't let the old man in
