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 no 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-ho, good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

Life goes by like the firefly's

Where the devil sits with a grin.



I used to sing with a young man's voice

A young man't heart and a young man's chioce

I hope my song is what you're longing for

I don't sing like I used tom sometimes less is 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-ho, good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

Life goes by like the firefly's

Where the devil sits with a grin.



This crazy life is all we got

Like a shoestring tied in a beggars knot

And at the end that's what this story shows

I don't love you like I used to, this ol' man loves you more...
