Old man said I should smile more Said he'd never seen such an 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 I 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 no where 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 Chorus oh he's far away from here oh, his words ringing in my ear
