Old Man Down - Allies

I spend my money most every night

It ought to make me happy

But it just ain’t right

I guess I’m gonna have another dring or two

Till I wind up on the ground

You see, I just can’t seem to keep

The old man down

I told my preacher

What I’m going through

He said, «Brother what’s wrong with you»

He said, «You know the Bible and you know the truth»

«And you’re saved without a doubt»

«Only God’s gonna help

You keep the old man down»

I guess I need some kind of revival

Just to find a little peace

Tell me, what did Jesus die for

If It weren’t for boys like me

There ain’t no secrets

When you’ll aqll alone

You can’t get far trying on your own

Just when I was about to give it up

That’s when I found out

It takes a child of God

To keep the old man down

I ain’t read my bible since '82

Help me Jesus

I’m depending on you

Slide me back to where I used to be

Get me feet back on the ground

It takes a child of God

To keep the old man down
