Old Souls Songtext
von Charlie Farley

So y′all wanna to know how it is like
Or how it is around my neck of the woods

There's dust on the tractor
A couple trucks in the pasture
Big bucks on the back wall
Boots on the front porch
Welcome mat on the floor
And a sign saying "howdy y′all"
I know the times sure change
We damn sure ain't
We just some young folks
Living with old souls


We'll always load them hounds
You don′t get tired of that sound
If you come from where we come from
′N got our kind of background
Daddy had me shooting them rifles round
When we could barely hold the gun up
Now I'm passing that ole traditions down to my daughters and my son
You can say that I′m crazy
For doing the things that I do for fun
But I could say the same thing to you for the life that you live
For one, ain't no way you could catch me living
Where I can′t pee off the front porch
Or hear them turkeys in the spring firing off like a blowtorch
I'd rather be broke in a tent camp on a dead end road
Living off spam wearing dirty clothes
That′s how it goes
But I'm good with it, living primitive is a good feeling to me
Problem free, I guess that's why I like to live where

There′s dust on the tractor
A couple trucks in the pasture
Big bucks on the back wall
Boots on the front porch
Welcome mat on the floor
And a sign saying "howdy y′all"
I know the times sure change
We damn sure ain't
We just some young folks
Living with old souls


Nowadays we′re outta place life's too fast paced
The older I get the more I realize that we can′t change
Bloodline's full of moonshine we were redlining them custom cars
Tryna to stay out from behind bars now it′s Nascar
We salute the flag and the military
I ain't the definition of a Christian
But I still think that man up there is watching over me
With a plan that only he knows
So before I go to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And I know I reap what I sew
So I hope the seeds that I've sewn are deeply rooted
And stand strong when they get full grown
We was born a few decades late
Everything we are the world ain′t
But still we remain where

There′s dust on the tractor
A couple trucks in the pasture
Big bucks on the back wall
Boots on the front porch
Welcome mat on the floor
And a sign saying "howdy y'all"
I know the times sure change
We damn sure ain′t
We just some young folks
Living with old souls
