Jackson Alan - The Firefly's Song lyrics

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

CHORUS

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

Repeat chorus

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
