Old Before My Time

There is a long hard road

That follows far behind me

It's so cold I'm about to die

Chasing a dream around the world

That's got me feeling down

Though it used to make me high

Lookin' for answers

Searchin' for the truth

In an ocean of lies

Tryin' to find a reason

To make the whole thing rhyme

Can make you old before your time

When I was younger

I thought I'd rule the world

It was oyster at my feet

Dancin' to my own drum

Fishin' out the pearl

Yes I would have been much more discreet

I lived a lifetime

Actin' out a part

It's been a long uphill climb

Now all the things that used to mean so much to me

Have made me old before my time

Wanderin' aimlessly, I'm

Wanderin' about

Would it ever be much different now?

Remind me of a past,

I slipped into a dream,

If only things ain't never what they seem

(Bridge)

Living like children,

Never doing what we are told.

Would not hesitate to take a chance

That road behind me now,

Is paved with fools gold

It's almost time for the victory dance

No more feeling guilty

Bout the things I never did

Feelin' nothing for my crimes

Living like a gypsy

Dreaming like a kid

Has made me old before my time

There is a long hard road

That winds so far behind me
