OLD MAN 


He didnt have 

much

A pair of hard

 working hands

Everything tha

t I needed

I got it from 

the old man

With a nine se

cond dream

He drove the R

edlight Bandit
 
And the grease

 on his hands

Was the way he

 commanded

And the life h

e demanded

It kept us all

 in a struggle

When he ruled 

with his fist

It kept us all

 out of troubl

e

Even though he

 would leave

He wore his he

art on his sle

eve

And by the way

 that he walke

d

He taught me h

ow to believe

       
Old man look a

t my life 
       
Take a look, t

ake a look
       
Old man look a

t my life
       
cause I’m a lo

t like you
       
Old man, old m

            
an take a look

 at my life
       
Old man, old m

            
an take a look

 at my life
            
cause I’m a lo

 
t like you





Growin’ up at 

the track

He had a reaso

n for being fa

st

His heart felt

 like breaking

He’d look righ

t up at the ce

iling and
             
Start again, 

  

never breathe 

a word of his 

loss
 
Cause it’s not

 about winning

 

It’s the river

s you cross

And the pain t

hat you feel

Could be the f

uel that you u

se

And if you’re 

in need of dir

ection 

Be it the path

 that you choo

se

My old man is 

a legend

He cast a shad

ow so great 

I think of how

 he is watchin

’

With every mov

e that I make

       
Old man look a

t my life 
       
Take a look, t

ake a look
       
Old man look a

t my life
       
cause I’m a lo

t like you
       
Old man, old m

            
an take a look

 at my life
       
Old man, old m

            
an take a look

 at my life
            
cause I’m a lo

 
t like you

Now there’s no slowin’ down
There’s only settin’ the pace
No more dreams to be stolen 
Just the right ones to chase
You’ve been through the worst
Now you know who to trust
Leave them something behind
Before the ashes and dust

Old man look at my life 
Old man look at my life
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I’m a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I’m a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I’m a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I’m a lot like you
