The Firefly's Song

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 ol' 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 ol' 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 dont' flow
heaven couldn't stop me then
hey hidey-hi...good Lord willin'
and the crick don't rise
life goes by liek the firefly's
when teh 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 dont' flow
heaven couldn't stop me then
hey hidey-hi...good Lord willin'
and the crick don't rise
life goes by liek the firefly's
when teh 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 ol' man loves you more
I don't love you like I used to...
this ol' man loves you more
