I'm just a simple man in a hard-luck town

Folks are standing 'round just waitin' for me to drown

They don't know my fire or the grit I hold

Got the heart of an old soul

Ain't one to be controlled

Most of The girls

treats me like a show

Judges me daily

Like I'm puttin' on a glow

The boys wanna be me

But the girls hate me

Just trying to let my spirit flow

They wanna see me stumble

They wanna watch me break

But I'm standin' tall with every step I make

The fire inside me

It'll never fade

An old soul never goes out

Can't be swayed

People talkin' 'bout me

Try to bring me low

But I've got the strength

A fire you can't outgrow

This heart beats with a rhythm ancient and wise

I'll keep pushin' forward

Reachin' for the skies

They wanna see me stumble

They wanna watch me break

But I'm standin' tall with every step I make

The fire inside me

It'll never fade

An old soul never goes out

Can't be swayed

Every doubt cast my way

I turn into gold

Every challenge I face

My spirit finds its hold

They'll never see me falter

No matter the test

An old soul keeps fightin'

Always gives its best
