Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m sitting in my car
Parked by the store
Watching my life go fast
Then ask for more
Thinking ’bout the future
Like, where do I go?
I took a few wrong turns
That much I know
I been away from God
Too long on my own
Acting like I’m fine
But I’m lost, low-key alone
Old days on my mind
When the days felt slow
Now I’m making plays
But I don’t feel whole
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m up, still up
Even when I fall
Got a little boy now
I can’t miss that call
Twenty-seven years
And I’m learning fast
Can’t live in the rearview
Gotta outgrow that past
[Chorus]
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
I can’t go back
I got a child to feed
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
If I’m far from grace
Pull me back to me
[Verse 2]
I remember late nights
Bare feet on the floor
Mama in the next room
Praying by the door
Now I’m in my head
With the engine on
Trying to be a man
Where’d I go wrong?
Got a baby face
And a heavy load
I smile in the mirror
But I don’t feel bold
I’m running from the shame
Then it pulls me in
But I still got breath
So I can start again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m up, still up
Even when I break
Holding all this pressure
Trying not to shake
Twenty-seven years
And a son to raise
I need more than money
Need a better way
[Chorus]
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
I can’t go back
I got a child to feed
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
If I’m far from grace
Pull me back to me
[Bridge]
If you hear me now
I’m not too far gone
I been playing strong
But the fight been long
Take this heavy heart
Make it clean again
Teach me how to lead
Teach me how to win
[Chorus]
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
I can’t go back
I got a child to feed
Old way, not me
Old way, not me
If I’m far from grace
Pull me back to me
[Outro]
Old way, not me
I’m trying, I’m trying
Old way, not me
I’m still here fighting
