Patty Loveless - Old Soul lyrics

She's a little more than a child herself Than the children of her own All her living's done for someone else The only life she's ever known All the dreams and desires that she had She had to put 'em all on hold While another young heart became an old soul River of life keeps rushing by She just rolls with the flow She's seen it all through world weary eyes She takes it like it comes and goes She's forgotten more about life and love Than most will ever know While another young heart became an old soul Laugh too little and you cry too much Way too long without that gentle touch Weight of the world resting down in your bones Pretty soon you've got an old soul Old soul, old soul Laugh too little and you cry too much Way too long without that gentle touch Weight of the world resting down in your bones Pretty soon you've got an old soul Old soul, old soul
