Old Pen - Cody Francis

I met an old man

I said, «Tell me your story»

He took out an old pen

And wrote somethin' for me

Then he kept walking on down the road

And I watched him disappear like smoke

And I thought I’d just seen a ghost

Then I looked down at what he’d wrote

It said, «Son, when you grow up you’ll be fine

I know, you’ve got questions on your mind

Life is gonna happen one way or the other, whether you like it or not

Stop looking for answers and you’ll find, what you’ve got»

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm

I met a young man

Searchin' for glory

I took out an old pen

And wrote him my story

Then I kept walking on down the road

When your time is up, it’s time to go

I pray he reads what’s on the note

And takes to heart what I wrote

I said, «Son, when you grow up you’ll be fine

I know, you’ve got questions on your mind

Life is gonna happen one way or the other, whether you like it or not

Stop looking for answers and you’ll find, what you’ve got»

When you grow up you’ll be fine

I know, you’ve got questions on your mind

Life is gonna happen one way or the other, whether you like it or not

Stop looking for answers and you’ll find, what you’ve got
