Del Way - The Old Man Is Dead lyrics

rate me

Now and then an old friend of mine,

I've not seen for some time,

Will stop by and ask me where I been,

What's on my mind.

They wonder why I'm not drinkin',

And still painting this old town red.

I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,

And the old man is dead

[Chorus:]

And 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 used to live such a wicked life,

I had no peace inside.

I was lost in darkness,

Searching for the light.

Then one night in a little church,

After hearin' what the preacher said,

I gave my life to Jesus,

And the old man is dead.

[Chorus]
