A Young Body In An Old Soul

I turn on the news, when I watch TV I get angry about the I see House prices up And the our self esteems down Statues being vandalized in most our towns Well I guess Im a cut from a different breed But i'm starting to get stress and anxiety What's going on Hell I don't know I guess I'm a young body With a damn old soul I've got a lot of friends in the piney woods All they need is my word and it's understood Country boys sharing a helping hand So shut your damn mouth about a race war man When I get in my truck, and go downtown There's some sissy screaming about a damn pronoun Well maybe I'm wrong, I guess I can't see But the fact you're screaming proves the fact that you're free What's going on Hell I don't know I guess I'm a young body With a damn old soul If I started to govern this great land Id lead by an example by being a man Id show pictures of my mom, and grandma too There ain't nothing too hard for these women to do Let's get back to the years I believe Where family was the main priority Hell I don't know but what see We’re screwing up the greatest damn society (Bridge) Our kids can't say grace Are you a woman or a man? We've lost all respect for this great land Let's get back To you and me Forget about these liberal policies How has this happened hell I don't know I'm just a young body With a damn old soul Yea let’s get back And take back our home I'm just a young body With a damn old soul
