Jackson, Alan - The Firefly's Song Lyrics
I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
And a young man's roots
But now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
You used to talk
And I used to nod
I don't listen
But I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second
That my key won't fit your door
I don't wantcha like I used to
This old man wants you more
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin
I used to sing with a young man's voice
A young man's heart
and a young man's choice
Hope my song is what you're longing for
I don't sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more
Hey hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river run still
and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey
Hidee hi
Good lord willin
And the creek don't rise
And life goes by
like the fireflies
Where the devil sits with a grin
Well this crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot
In the end that's what this story shows
I don't love you like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don't love ya like a used to
This old man loves you more

Alan Jackson is for sure Damn Good but hey HOW BOUT THEM STRAYHORNS
ABSOLUTELY. I think so. GO Boys.😊
great song and singer
Good song
Esta música é muito linda.
Song Nice ;)
amo de montao suas musicas ,sou do ESANTO
maybe it's things like the haiti earthquake that make people realize god is bullshit. how many people there prayed to him daily? yep. god is great all right. slaughtering thousands of innocents. if a human did that kind of thing, you'd say he's going to hell. if god does it, he's "great" and mysterious. and the fact that you asked for donations to help only christian children is disgusting. there's other poor children too. wake up. you're proof that religion only serves to divide humanity.
Awesome song
This is my first listen to this song. Thanks for uploading. Great tune.
adoro suas musicas eu curto muito sou do parana ..muito sucesso pra vc ..
Wonderful song. Very deep and touching. Alan Jackson, as always, knows how to encompass so many philosophies in 4 minute songs. Impressive!
makes me think of my dad.

Love this song! Who is the lady singing in the background she has a pretty voice and sounds good with Alan
At first in the chorus he says " I used to go where the devil don't go" and then in the end he says: " where the devil sits with a grin". Does it mean, by the context, that he's grown up? Like, he didn't know the evil and then he couldn't be face to face with that...and then as he's older, he knows that the evil exists, and can "see" it , like the evil is kinda near him and he knows that?
Another thing, do these " hey hidee ho, ho hidee hi" have any meaning?
@KlausPettersson232
I was offended by what this person wrote, but your response was just as bad. Sad.
@ascromatico YOUR just mad cause you can get a shower or bath were u live,
this is truely amazing, it makes me so happy to listen to it, ty for posting it on utube.
5 people must be fucked in the head!
not really <3 this song!
WOW. I've never heard this song. I LOVE it. Amazing.
1:20 Best part
@ascromatico i was gonna say you guys are horrible and rude... but after google translate, Which i know aint too reliable, translated it to something bout something sons of a bitches.... id like to kick some ass too
@dpander83 amen
@KlausPettersson232 awesome<3
I love the lyrics in this song. <3
@ascromatico Why don't you just shoot yourself, you worthless hispanic
beautiful
@KlausPettersson232 -- That person is from Chile. Spanish is the main language.
omg! i love this man!!!
i wish to go watch a concert or something like that but... i`m from a shitty place called Romania and i`m not eligible to obtain any visa... they told me that i`m eligible if my whife(she is crazy abouth his songs) and my doughter will stay in Romania.
i just hope that someday maybe i will be able to see him live!
oneof the things that I see wrong is how quickly we critize one another, and call each other rotten names -- just to sadly attempt to hurt each other -- I do not believe that JESUS wants to see or hear that -- JESUS stands for us all -- not just one person or one reace or ethnic group -- THINK ABOUT THAT -- JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR ALL OF US AND TO REMOVE OUR SIN'S
A ESSENCIA DA MUSICA COUNTRY
@truck090 its about getting older and wiser and learning to appreciate things more
What does this song talk about ?
What does word "roots" in first verse refer too?
Is it transitive sense?
So good!
this is the best and only song by him
A song from God.
Lovely! I hadn't heard this one before. Thanks for posting.
God bless you Klaus :)
Your songs really lift my spirits
Thanks for sharing this video
Cheers from Belgium
Eric - Studio ChinChan
Beautiful job on the video !! I love Alan.
Thanks for posting.
Just Perfect
Alan Jackson - God I wish he was mine!!! Then, of course, he would never be in a recording studio or anywhere else, if you catch my drift ;)
Great song, it really hits home with me!!
sry, guys didn´t mean you, I ment wesleyevers
country music the best
rap never going to take over as long as there that like other music then it will never and what the big thing about rap people saying fuck you and shit like that that not music
Rap is taking over??? Why can't it just be music... why can't you enjoy all types of music regardless of the title. I think it's sad if you limit your choices!!
AWESOME !!
This is the life .. the best life ever
Country World
Speachless
Awesome video, to a great song, loved it,
Big Thanks!

Wonderful slide show with Alan's great music.
Love it... 5*
