If you're gonna live the life of old
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
The boy walked out with a new found hero
Drivin' like he's got a destination
Yeah, the boy well he walked away a man
The old man said, the old man said
See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
Well I'm never gonna walk this path again
The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
His heart's still free and he rides on
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
In the words of the young man who turned old
'Til one day when he found his pot of gold
The old man said, the old man said
And he said to himself that, "Dusty day way down in Texas"
Now those fields are all but gone
He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
If you're gonna live the life of old
The boy walked out he was dreamin' of wild times
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
With old cowboys and broke down cattle lines
The old man said, the old man said
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford
The old man said, the old man said
