The Old Me

**Verse 1:** I was the life of the night, wild on the scene, Chasin’ them party girls, livin’ like a king, Swingin' fists at the world, fightin' just for fun, Revvin my engine in my lifted truck for fun me and my crew would never run. You couldn’t tell me nothin’, I was young and free, Crown on my head, I was the crazy ass at the party yeah that was me **Chorus:** Oh, I miss the old me, with a whiskey shot in my hand, Kickin’ up dust in a old ford truck, But life hit hard, and I took a long fall, The wild man’s faded, but sometimes I call. Don’t mess with my money, don’t mess with my kin, ‘Cause you might just wake up the old me again. **Verse 2:** Lost my way in the dark, when my world turned gray, Losing parents and friends, it took my laugh away. Found a love so deep, like a calm in the storm, She showed me the way to not be weak but to be strong. Now I’m tryin’ to build, got a family to raise, Still, the shadow of my past, man, it lingers and stays. **Chorus:** Oh, I miss the old me, with a whiskey shot in my hand, Kickin’ up dust in a old Ford truck, But life hit hard, and I took a long fall, The wild man’s faded, but sometimes I call. Don’t mess with my money, don’t mess with my kin, ‘Cause you might just wake up the old me again. **Bridge:** And sometimes I think back, to those reckless days, When the thrill of the fight, man, it set me ablaze. But I know that I gotta keep my head on straight, ‘Cause if you push my buttons, it's a hell of a fate. Yeah, I’ll protect what’s mine, with the fire that I keep, But the old me’s a ghost, and he’s buried so deep. **Outro:** So here’s to the memories, of livin’ fast and free, But I’m holdin’ on tight to the man I wanna be. Still, there’s a part of me that just can’t let it go, So tread lightly, my friend, you don’t want to know… Don’t mess with my money, don’t mess with my kin, ‘Cause you might just wake up the old me again. Yeah, the old me again with a whiskey shot in my hand you don’t want mess with me you understand.
