Old Before Your Time (with The Pariah Dogs) - Live From Avatar Studios

When I was a younger man
 looking for a pot of gold
 Every-where I turned the doors were closing.
 Took every ounce of faith I had
 to keep on keeping on
 Still I felt like I was always losing.
 I refused then like I do now
 that 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
 looking back I see a kid who's just afraid
 Hungry and old before his time.
 Through the years I've know my share
 of broken hearted fools
 those who couldn't choose the path worth taking.
 Nothing 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 realized
 it's not worth keeping score
 you win some you lose some
 and you let it go
 Now what's the use of staking on
 every failure another stone
 till you find you spend your whole life building walls.
 Lonely yes and old before your time
 It took so long to see
 that truth was all around me
 now the wren has gone to roost the sky's turning gold
 like the sky my skull is also turning
 turning from the past, at last, and all I've left behind
 could it be that I am finally learning
 Learning now deserving of love in a peaceful heart
 won't tear myself apart no more for trying
 tired of lying to myself
 trying to buy what can't be bought
 it's not living what your doing if it feels like dying
 
 Just crying
 growing old before your time
 it's only crying
 growing old before your time
