The Old Man Is Dead Lyrics

Del Way The Old Man Is Dead

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]
