I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This old man don't run no more
You used to talk and I used to not
I don't listen but I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second
That my key won't fit your door
I don't want you like I used to
This old man wants you more
Hey hidey-ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river runs still
And the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey hidey-hi
Good Lord willing
And the crick don't rise
Life goes by like the firefly's
When the devil sits with a grin
I used to sing with a young man's voice
A young man's heart
And a young man's choice
I hope my song is what you're longing for
I don't sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more
Hey hidey-ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river runs still
And the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey hidey-hi
Good Lord willing
And the crick don't rise
Life goes by like the firefly's
When the devil sits with a grin
This crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot
And in the end that's what this story shows
I don't love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don't love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
