OLD MAN 
DHe didnt have much
FA pair of hard working hands
CEverything that I needed
GI got it from the old man
DWith a nine second dream
FHe drove the Redlight Bandit
CAnd the grease on his hands
FWas the way he commanded
DAnd the life he demanded
FIt kept us all in a struggle
CWhen he ruled with his fist
GIt kept us all out of trouble
DEven though he would leave
FHe wore his heart on his sleeve
CAnd by the way that he walked
FHe taught me how to believe
DOld man Am7look at my life 
Em7Take a looGk, take a look
DOld man Am7look at my life
Em7cause I’m Ga lot like you
D/F#Old man, oAm7ld man take a loGok at my life
D/F#Old man, oAm7ld man take a loGok at my life
Fcause CI’m a lot Dlike you
DGrowin’ up at the track
FHe had a reason for being fast
CHis heart felt like breaking
GHe’d look right up at the ceiling and
DStart again, 
Fnever breathe a word of his loss
CCause it’s not about winning 
GIt’s the rivers you cross
DAnd the pain that you feel
FCould be the fuel that you use
CAnd if you’re in need of direction 
GBe it the path that you choose
DMy old man is a legend
FHe cast a shadow so great 
CI think of how he is watchin’
GWith every move that I make
DOld man Am7look at my life 
Em7Take a looGk, take a look
DOld man Am7look at my life
Em7cause I’m Ga lot like you
D/F#Old man, oAm7ld man take a loGok at my life
D/F#Old man, oAm7ld man take a loGok at my life
Fcause CI’m a lot Dlike you
Now there’s no slowin’ down
There’s only settin’ the pace
No more dreams to be stolen 
Just the right ones to chase
You’ve been through the worst
Now you know who to trust
Leave them something behind
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’m a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I’m a lot 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’m a lot 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’m a lot like you

OLD MAN

He didnt 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 Redlight Bandit

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 fist

It kept us all out of trouble

Even though he would leave

He wore his heart on his sleeve

And by the way that he walked

He taught me how to believe

F C D

cause I’m a lot like you

Growin’ up at the track

He had a reason for being fast

His heart felt like breaking

He’d look 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’re in need of direction

Be it the path that you choose

My old man is a legend

He cast a shadow so great

I think of how he is watchin’

With every move that I make

Now there’s no slowin’ down

There’s only settin’ the pace

No more dreams to be stolen

Just the right ones to chase

You’ve been through the worst

Now you know who to trust

Leave them something behind

Before the ashes and dust

Old man look at my life

Old man, old man take a look at my life

cause I’m a lot like you

Old man, old man take a look at my life

cause I’m a lot 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’m a lot 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’m a lot like you
