Old Man (Live from Capitol Studio A) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old man, the world is on your shoulder
And your heart is on your sleeve
May you find the pretty things
To beat the stormy weather
Sunsets over water
Show us how to dream
In the sweet power of love again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sure enough, brother, sure enough, sister
The sweet power of love will keep us elevated, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause even when the sun don't shine
When the clouds come home
And you can't go on holding on
Tеll 'em what to do with it

[Chorus]
Ain't no need to worry, baby, don't worry about it
If you've got soul, then you got firе
Ain't no need to worry, baby
Let my love take you higher, higher

[Verse 2]
Old man, when your mind is downtrodden
By the powers that be
Remember where we come from
The sweet power of love
There's so much lovin'
Sure enough, sister
The sweet power of love will keep us elevated, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause even when the sun don't shine
When the clouds come home
And you can't go on holding on
Come on, help me

[Chorus]
Ain't no need to worry, baby, don't worry about it
If you've got soul, then you got fire
Ain't no need to worry, baby, don't worry about it
Let my love take you higher, higher

[Post-Chorus]
(I wanna kick it with you) Can we kick it together, babe?
Wanna kick it together (Let's kick it together)
I wanna kick it (I wanna kick it with you)
Let's kick it together (Let's kick it together)
Gotta kick it (I wanna kick it with you)
Kick it together (Let's kick it together)
Uh, so let's kick it (I wanna kick it with you)
(Let's kick it together)

[Outro]
From the start of the day to the finish
The finish line
When I give you love, don't leave it behind, baby
Just wanna kick it with you
Get to know you a little bit better
No matter when the weather changes
When there's clouds in the sky
I wanna see you
Look you straight in the eye and tell you
I just wanna kick it 'cause I love you, come on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
