Alan Jackson – The Firefly’s Song

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 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.
