Old Man

He didn't have much
 A pair of hard working hands
 Everything that I needed
 I got it from the old man
 With a nine second dream
 He drove the Redlight Bandit
 And the grease on his hands
 Was the way he commanded
 And the life he demanded
 It kept us all in a struggle
 When he ruled with his fist
 It kept us all out of trouble
 Even though he would leave
 He wore his heart on his sleeve
 And by the way that he walked
 He taught me how to believe
 Old man look at my life
 Take a look, take a look
 Old man 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
 Growin' up at the track
 He had a reason for being fast
 His heart felt like breaking
 He'd look right up at the ceiling and
 Start again, never breathe a word of his loss
 'Cause it's not about winning
 It's the rivers you cross
 And the pain that you feel
 Could be the fuel that you use
 And if you're in need of direction
 Be it the path that you choose
 My old man is a legend
 He cast a shadow so great
 I think of how he is watchin'
 With every move that I make
 Old man look at my life
 Take a look, take a look
 Old man 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
 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
