Now and then an old of mine I've not seen in some time Will stop by and ask me Where've i been? what's on my mind? They wonder why i'm not drinking And still painting this old town red I tell them i'm serving jesus now And the old man is dead ♪ The man you see before you May look a lot the same
I may wear the same clothes And have the same old name But you're looking on the outside If you could see inside instead ♪ You would see a brand new man 'Cause the old man is dead ♪ I use to live such a wicked life I had no hope in sight I was lost in the darkness Searching for the light Then one night in a little church After hearing what the preacher said I gave my life to jesus And the old man is dead ♪ You're looking on the outside If you could see the inside instead You would see a brand new man 'Cause the old man is dead
