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 old man don't run no more You used to talk And I used to nod 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 wantcha like I used to This old man wants you more Hey hidee ho I used to go where the devil wouldn't go Where the river run still And the water don't flow Heaven couldn't stop me then Hey Hidee hi Good lord willin And the creek don't rise And life goes by Like the fireflies Where 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 Hope my song is what you're longing for I don't sing like I used to Sometimes less is more Hey hidee ho I used to go where the devil wouldn't go Where the river run still And the water don't flow Heaven couldn't stop me then Hey Hidee hi Good lord willin And the creek don't rise And life goes by Like the fireflies Where the devil sits with a grin Well this crazy life is all we got Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot 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 ya like a used to This old man loves you more --- The Firefly's Song - Alan Jackson
