Old Soul Lyrics - Patty Loveless

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
