Lyrics
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
