Never Let the Old Man In was a phrase attributed to Clint Eastwood in a story I heard secondhand. A cast party was thrown after a long day of filming “Jersey Boys”, the film released in 2014 that Clint directed.

The actor who told this story (and remember, I heard this secondhand) said he was exhausted but went to the party anyway and was surprised to see Clint, somewhere near 83 years old, in attendance and unfazed by the day’s filming.

When asked how he was able to keep going at his age, Clint said, “I never let the old man in.” I wrote the song the next day.
