He didn't 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 red light, bend it
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 fists, it kept us all out of trouble
Even though he would leave, he wore his heart on his sleeve
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 I will not 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
Yes, I will not like you
Growing up at the track, he had a reason for being fast
His heart felt like breaking, he looked right up at the ceiling
And start again, never breathe a word of his loss
Cause it's not about winning, it's the rivers you cross
And the pain that you feel could be the fuel that you use
And if you need direction, be it the path that you choose
My old man is a legend, he casts a shadow so great
I think of how he is watching with every breath he takes
Every move that I make
Old man, look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, look at my life
Cause I will not 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
Yes, I will not like you
There's no slowing down, there's only setting the pace
No more dreams, no more dreams, no more dreams
I'll be stoned, just the right ones to chase
And you've been through the worst, now you know who to trust
Leave them something but high 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 I will not like you
Old man, old man, take a look at my life
Take a look at my life
Cause I will not 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 I will not 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 I will not like you
you
