Old Man

Driving through Marshall
Oh, the wind and rain
I’d like to keep my spirits up
I’ll do it anyway I can
They say that my life is just a flash in the pan
But that ain’t good enough for this old man

The kick me down and beat me out
Lord I think I’ve lost it all
And I don’t know how or why I’ve got any will at all
People say the ones like me are only destined to fall
But that ain’t good enough for this old man

The dream I have is real
Well I can hold it in my hand
Can pick up and dust it off
But still you’d never understand
I’ve waited long enough in life not to have plan

And that just ain’t good enough for this old man
