I'm Getting 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 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
