Old man said I should smile more
Said he'd never seen such empty face
Didn't anyone ever tell you girl
You worth more than living in this
Sad and lonely place
So I gave him my best smile
Trade my sorrows with some of that old man's fire
And ran to my feet

Old man said I should get away
Never been no where
Never took a chance
And now his memories fade
So I headed out west
Never looked back I not gonna live and die with regret
No I never looked back

Never wanted more
Just a place to rest my head
Never asked for much
Just a steady heart
To dance with
Never had too much
Just enough to keep me safe
Never wanted more
Until I saw
That old man's face
Oh he's far away from here
Oh, his words ringing in my ear

Never wanted more
Just a place to rest my head
Never asked for much
Just a steady heart
To dance with
Never had too much
Just enough to keep me safe
Never wanted more
Until I saw
That old man's face
