Old Souls and Rounders

He’s a little bit weathered, he’s missing some teeth

Bums call him Shorty, his mama named him Keith

He said that ain’t no blood on my shirt, it’s a little ketchup

They don’t allow no fighting here, you know you got to measure up

Said he took to driftin’ but he stayed close to home

Hung around ‘til the town died, then he decided to roam

Didn’t find much joy, out on the road

So he turned to meth ya know, it helped to lighten the load

Not all who wander are lost

Some do what’s right no matter the cost

So speak from the heart, tell me, what’s on your mind?

Old souls and rounders, they’re all friends of mine

They said he was smart but he just didn’t like school

He loved Galileo, man them church guys they’re fools

Even had a girlfriend, she was plain but sweet

Didn’t know if he could ever go back, he kinda likes it out on the streets

It’s time go, he stood and he stuck out his hand

Said there’s gonna come a time when you got to make a stand

Always choose the side of right and keep it between the lines

I hope you have a joyful life, at least one better than mine
