now and then an old of mine
i've not seen in some time
will stop by and ask me
where've i been? what's on my mind?
they wonder why i'm not drinking
and still painting this old town red
i tell them i'm serving jesus now
and the old man is dead
the man you see before you
may look a lot the same
i may wear the same clothes
and have the same old name
but you're looking on the outside
if you could see inside instead
you would see a brand new man
'cause the old man is dead
i use to live such a wicked life
i had no hope in sight
i was lost in the darkness
searching for the light
then one night in a little church
after hearing what the preacher said
i gave my life to jesus
and the old man is dead
you're looking on the outside
if you could see the inside instead
you would see a brand new man
'cause the old man is dead
