"When I was a younger man lookin' for a pot of gold Everywhere I turned the doors were closin' It 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 And 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 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 making 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 stacking on every failure, another stone Till you find you've spent your whole life building walls, Lonely and old before your time It took so long to see That truth was all around me Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin' gold 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' that I'm deserving of love and the peaceful heart I won't tear myself apart no more for tryin' I'm 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
