[Verse]
I'm just a simple man in a hard-luck town
Folks are standing 'round just waitin' for me to drown
They don't know my fire or the grit I hold
Got the heart of an old soul
Ain't one to be controlled

[Verse 2]
Most of The girls
treats me like a show
Judges me daily
Like I'm puttin' on a glow
The boys wanna be me
But the girls hate me
Just trying to let my spirit flow

[Chorus]
They wanna see me stumble
They wanna watch me break
But I'm standin' tall with every step I make
The fire inside me
It'll never fade
An old soul never goes out
Can't be swayed

[Verse 3]
People talkin' 'bout me
Try to bring me low
But I've got the strength
A fire you can't outgrow
This heart beats with a rhythm ancient and wise
I'll keep pushin' forward
Reachin' for the skies

[Chorus]
They wanna see me stumble
They wanna watch me break
But I'm standin' tall with every step I make
The fire inside me
It'll never fade
An old soul never goes out
Can't be swayed

[Bridge]
Every doubt cast my way
I turn into gold
Every challenge I face
My spirit finds its hold
They'll never see me falter
No matter the test
An old soul keeps fightin'
Always gives its best
