Tragically Hip, The - 38 Years Old Lyrics

I miss Gordo!

Why do some of the Hip songs make me wet in the eyes?Damn …Thanks Gord for the memories.Fiddler's Green reminds me of when I lost my younger brother years ago. Shit times goes on. This is timeless though.

Ain't it some shit that 7 years b4 Katrina they knew about new orleans

how many canuuuks up in here eh?

That little guitar solo towards the end is deadly 🔥

Wow just turned 38 years old and remembered this song...I've discovered so many great bands from Canada. The rock scene here in the States is basically dead, but it seems in Canada it is still thriving.

its the way she goes

Had I not lived in Canada for two years 25 years ago I may have left this world and never heard of this band. How sad would that be?

Thanks, Hip for carrying me through those lonely early days away from home, and many days since.

I'm soon to be 38 and have yet to kiss a girl :(

One of my favorite songs. 👍🏻🙂

I always thought there should have been a part two to this song.......

not crying.

Legends never die

2nd anniversary of Downie's death RIP brother

Great video man

If someone raped my little sister, l too would kill him.

This is he only opening scene song that's ever given my eye a tear

Here from Steven Ogg

Rock on all the way from Canada

Currently jamming to this on my 38th birthday. 🙂

"He's not a bad goalie... but he's dumb."

I turned 38 this year. I got in the car and this song played once I started the car. I sat in silence and tears. Such a moving song.

I met the sister of the guy who they wrote this song about...she's a RBC employee at the bank, her brother got 18 years when he was 20...sad all said and done..think his name Dave..shes Heather..

And hes passed now as well..

Hang around here.
Love the hip
Buffalo misses you

My youth owes credit to the Hip!

Best song and band ever my dad grew up with these guys when they were young

Cheers from Poland das is good shit

One of their best songs

First time listening and wow talk about a male version of Tracey Chapman

still missing Gord... saw a cover band here in Tokyo perform Hip covers for Canada Day a few weeks ago. Brought back memories of a Hip show I saw 30 years ago. Gord will live on forever...

The Anthem of the Incel

@SoakingCobra........I've seen this video so many times. This is in my top 3 Hip songs. And it was only now that I read you made it. Wow! Blew me away! It's perfect! Thanks for sharing!

Lisa Cameron what are your other two Hip songs

0:52 Represent...

What a voice

lol, if you like the sound of a billy goat trying to sing!

why is there no pic for 'folks went back to normal' ?!

Being on the border, we have adopted the Hip.

Dam, fine music.R.I.P Gord missed fore ever.

then just close them weary eyes and enjoy

fkn love that song

Miss ya Gord

The first band I introduced my chocolate lab puppy too. He will grow up on this shit just like me. ♡

R.I.P Gordy miss you buddy

You just know the PM of Canada is not really a Hip fan when they play music like this and Gord asked him to help those aboriginal girls.

My favourite Tragically Hip song for sure, so underrated.

I dedicate this song to anyone doing time for a crime they didn't commit!
A Canadian boy at 17 yrs old was found guilty for a brutal rape and murder of a nurse in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. He was in prison for 20 + years. Always sticking to his innocence. Even after 10 years of time, they offered him time served if he just pled guilty to the crime...he refused!! In 1993 his mother, who always believed her son was innocent went to the city's capital to try and have some politician look at her son's case. A new forensic technic had just came out, and this new DNA testing could free her son. The then Prime Minister of Canada Kim Somebody...lol...shunned her on the Parliament steps! This enraged Canadians to the bone. And to make a long story short, David Milgaard was finally released after serving 25yrs. He was 38 when he was released and this song always reminded me of him.

Corrine Vermette how could he spend 25 yrs starting at 17 and get out at 38 that don't add up bud

They actually wrote Wheat Kings about Dave Milgaard

@bill cruz this song is not about that guy .The Hip wrote another song called Wheat Kings about it.

viciouslady thank you from last year

RIP Gord.

I’ve been hearing this song since I was 12 years old. I’m now 27 and I know for a fact, I will still be listening to this song when I’m 38. It will be far more memorable in my past than any girl I’ve kissed in those 15 years and will continue to be so. Gord’s words will live on because writers never die

The Hip made so many relevant songs and then the PM goes to their final show and Gord asks him to do something about the raped missing and murdered Indigenous girls and the PM cries when Gordie dies and has still not done a proper investigation or brought justice for the victims and their families utterly appalling.

I had friends in millhaven

shout out to my brother that still lives at home. He's 45 years old. kissed a girl, guess it sucked.

happy birthday to me

Love this song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Big tune

.. and with every US web-media posting of "who we've lost this year" ... I don't see Gord. I'm 1/2 pissed off that he's not listed and 1/2 happy that he's a pure Canadian. G'Bye Gord! From a Vermont Fan. We miss you and all the T-Hip

Boston here. 👍

Twelve men broke loose in seventy-three
From Mill Haven maximum security
Twelve pictures lined up across the front page
Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage

The chief told the people they had nothing to fear
Said, "The last thing they wanna do is hang around here"
They mostly came from towns with long French names
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty, eighteen years in all
Freezing slow time, away from the world
He's thirty-eight years old, never kissed a girl
He's thirty-eight years old, never kissed a girl

We were sitting around the table, heard the telephone ring
Father said he'd tell 'em if he saw anything
Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night
Held back the curtains for my older brother Mike

See my sister got raped so a man got killed
Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

My mother cried, "The horror has finally ceased!"
He whispered, "Yeah, for the time being at least"
Over her shoulder on the squad car megaphone
Said, "Let's go Michael, son, we're taking you home"

Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty, eighteen years in all
Freezing slow time, away from the world
He's thirty-eight years old, never kissed a girl
He's thirty-eight years old, never kissed a girl
He's thirty-eight years old, never kissed a girl

My late Dad loved this Tragically Hip since I can remember. I know all the songs and every lyric ❤️
R.I.P Daddy and Gordon ❤️❤️
