Old Man

Old man said
I should smile more
Said he'd never seen
Such empty face
Didn't anyone ever tell you, girl
You worth more than living in this
Sad and lonely place
So I gave him my best smile
Trade my sorrows with some
Of that old man's fire
And ran to my feet

Never wanted more
Just a place to rest my head
Never asked for much
Just a steady heart
To dance with
Never had too much
Just enough to keep me safe
Never wanted more
Until I saw that old man's face

Old man said
I should get away
Never been nowhere
Never took a chance
And now his memories fade
So I headed out west
Never looked back
I not gonna live and die
With regret
No, I never looked back

Never wanted more
Just a place to rest my head
Never asked for much
Just a steady heart
To dance with
Never had too much
Just enough to keep me safe
Never wanted more
Until I saw that old man's face

Oh, he's far away from here
Oh, his words ringing in my ear

Never wanted more
Just a place to rest my head
Never asked for much
Just a steady heart
To dance with
Never had too much
Just enough to keep me safe
Never wanted more
Until I saw that old man's face
