Old Before Your Time - Ray LaMontagne[00:00:00]
When I was a younger man[00:00:16]
Lookin' for my pot of gold[00:00:19]
Everywhere I turned the doors were closin'[00:00:22]
It took every ounce of faith[00:00:28]
I had to keep on keepin' on[00:00:30]
And still I felt like[00:00:34]
I was only losin'[00:00:36]
I refused then like I do now[00:00:40]
To let anybody tie me down[00:00:44]
And I lost a few good friends[00:00:47]
Along the way[00:00:50]
I was raised up poor[00:00:53]
And I wanted more[00:00:55]
And maybe I'm a little too proud[00:00:57]
In lookin' back I see a kid[00:01:00]
Who was just[00:01:03]
Afraid hungry and old[00:01:03]
Before his time[00:01:10]
Through the years I've known[00:01:26]
My share of broken hearted fools[00:01:27]
And those who couldn't[00:01:32]
Choose a path worth taking[00:01:33]
There's nothin' in the world[00:01:38]
So sad as talking to a man[00:01:41]
Who never knew his life[00:01:45]
Was his for making[00:01:47]
Ain't it about time you realize[00:01:51]
It's not worth keepin' score[00:01:54]
You win some you lose some[00:01:57]
And you let it go[00:02:01]
What's the use of stacking on[00:02:04]
Every failure another stone[00:02:07]
Till you find you've spent your[00:02:10]
Whole damn life[00:02:12]
Building walls lonely and old[00:02:13]
Before your time[00:02:21]
It took so long to see[00:02:34]
That truth was all around me[00:02:40]
Now the wren has gone to roost[00:02:49]
And the sky is turnin' gold[00:02:51]
And like the sky my soul is also turnin'[00:02:55]
Turnin' from the past[00:03:01]
At last and all I've left behind[00:03:04]
Could it be that I am finally learnin'[00:03:08]
Learnin' I'm deserving[00:03:14]
Of love and the peaceful heart[00:03:17]
I won't tear myself apart[00:03:20]
No more for tryin'[00:03:23]
I'm tired of lyin' to myself[00:03:26]
Tryin' to buy[00:03:30]
What can't be bought[00:03:31]
It's not livin' that you're doin'[00:03:33]
If it feels like dyin'[00:03:35]
Cryin' growin' old before your time[00:03:40]
Cryin' growin' old before your time[00:03:48]
