VERSE 1:
NOW AND THEN AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE
I’VE NOT SEEN IN SOME TIME
WILL STOP BY AND ASK ME
WHERE’VE I BEEN ? WHAT’S ON MY MIND ?
THEY WONDER WHY I’M NOT DRINKING
AND STILL PAINTING THIS OLD TOWN RED
I TELL THEM I’M SERVING JESUS NOW
AND THE OLD MAN IS DEAD
CHORUS
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
VERSE 2
I USE TO LIVE SUCH A WICKED LIFE
I HAD NO HOPE IN SIGHT
I WAS LOST IN THE DARKNESS
SEARCHING FOR THE LIGHT
THEN ONE NIGHT IN A LITTLE CHURCH
AFTER HEARING WHAT THE PREACHER SAID
I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS
AND THE OLD MAN IS DEAD
REPEAT CHORUS :
TAG:
YOU’RE LOOKING ON THE OUTSIDE
IF YOU COULD SEE THE INSIDE INSTEAD
YOU WOULD SEE A BRAND NEW MAN
‘CAUSE THE OLD MAN IS DEAD
