[Intro] (after quick lick)
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
When I was a younger man lookin' for a pot of gold
Everywhere I turned the doors were closin'
Took every ounce of faith I had to keep on keepin' on
And still I felt like I was only losin'
I refused then like I do now to let anybody tie me down
I lost a few good friends along the way
I was raised up poor and I wanted more and maybe I'm a little too proud
Lookin' back I see a kid who was just afraid
Hungry and old before his time
Instrumental
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
Through the years I've known my share of broken-hearted fools
And those who couldn't choose a path worth taking
There's nothin' in the world so sad as talking to a man
Who never knew his life was his for makin’
Ain't it about time you realize it's not worth keepin' score?
You win some, you lose some, and you let it go
What's the use of stackin’ on every failure another stone
Till you find you've spent your whole life building walls
Lonely and old before your time?
Instrumental
It took so lo-ng to see
That truth was all around me
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin' gold
And like the sky my soul is also turnin'
Turnin' from the past, at last, and all I've left behind
Could it be that I am finally learnin'?
Learnin' I'm deserving of love and the peaceful heart
I won't tear myself apart no more for tryin'
Tired of lyin' to myself, tryin' to buy what can't be bought
It's not livin' that you're doin' if it feels like dyin’
Cryin’, growin' old before your time
Cryin’, growin' old before your time
