Strum
D-DU-UDU
He didnt 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 Im a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause Im a lot like you
Growin up at the track
He had a reason for being fast
His heart felt like breaking
Hed look right up at the ceiling and
Start again,
never breathe a word of his loss
Cause its not about winning
Its the rivers you cross
And the pain that you feel
Could be the fuel that you use
And if youre 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 Im a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause Im a lot like you
Now theres no slowin down
Theres only settin the pace
No more dreams to be stolen
Just the right ones to chase
Youve 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 Im a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause Im 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 Im 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 Im a lot like you
