"Old Man & Me (When I Get to Heaven)" is a song by American rock group Hootie & the Blowfish.
The song first appeared in an earlier version on the band's 1993 self-released EP, Kootchypop.
The EP's liner notes explain the origin of the song: I was walking on Santee Street in Columbia leaving Monterrey Jack's and an older man came up to me.
He asked for some change and me being in a bad mood (not me) I gave him some smart ass "BUM" remark.
So I woke up the next morning and wrote this fictitious conversation about his life because you never know what has happened to these unfortunate people.The music video was directed by Dan Winters and filmed in Columbia, South Carolina.
