\u00a9 Bill Miles 2014

Verse 1
\nThis big ol’ hand, bent broken and bruised
\nFrom working sometimes are even hard to use
\nBut he gets up every day before daylight
\nThat’s just the way he’s done it his whole life<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nHe’s an old American soul
\nRed white and blue to the core
\nHe ain’t afraid of any job no, no, no, no, no
\nHe just wishes they’d stopped giving them away
\nHe’s just an old American soul
\nHe’s just an old American soul<\/p>\n

Verse 2
\nHis daddy had a farm way down in North Carolina
\nHe grew up picking that big ol’… smoking tobacco
\nThey’d start work every day before day light
\nThat’s just the way he’s done it his whole life<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nHe’s an old American soul
\nRed white and blue to the core
\nHe ain’t afraid of any job no, no, no
\nHis soldiers they stopped giving them away
\nHe’s just an old American soul
\nHe’s just an old American soul<\/p>\n

Verse 3
\nHe works a job in the day and farms in the evening that’s how he gets by
\nMost of his friends will tell ya he’ll never retire
\nI heard him say one day he’d like to slow down
\nMaybe just work one job before the sun goes down<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nHe’s an old American soul
\nRed white and blue to the core
\nHe ain’t afraid of any job no, no, no
\nHis soldiers they stopped giving them away
\nHe’s just an old American soul
\nHe’s just an old American soul<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
