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 don`t flow
Heaven couldn`t stop me then
Hey-hidey-hi… good Lord willin`
And the creek 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
Repeat Chorus
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 willin`
And the creek don`t rise
Life goes by like the firefly`s
When the devil sits with a grin
break
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.
