song lyrics  The Firefly s Song lyrics

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 old man don t run no more

You used to talk
And I used to nod
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 wantcha like I used to
This old man wants you more

Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn t go
Where the river run still
and the water don t flow
Heaven couldn t stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don t rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where 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
Hope my song is what you re longing for
I don t sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more

Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn t go
Where the river run still
and the water don t flow
Heaven couldn t stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don t rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin

Well this crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar s knot
In the end that s what this story shows
I don t love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don t love ya like a used to
This old man loves you more
