Dreadful Selfish Crime

Seems like yesterday I was here
 Dreamin' my life away and drinkin' beer
 Staying up till dawn strummin' on guitars
 Sleepin' all day long just like the big rock stars
 Barely livin' on money from tip jars
 I had a little place just up the block
 Had me a French girlfriend I loved the way she talked
 We spent our afternoons watchin' the TV
 Findin' things to do that we could do for free
 We split up she said,? You don't do enough for me?
 I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
 I had robbed myself of all my precious time
 Had my first gig here in the neighborhood
 We had a little band I thought was good
 Hocked my old shotgun and I bought a used P.A.
 We got a quart of rum and we drank it all that day
 When the big gig come we were just to drunk to play
 I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
 I had robbed myself of all my precious time
 I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
 I had robbed myself of all my precious time
 Sometimes I can't believe those days are gone
 Most of my friends back then have moved along
 One's in Hollywood and one's a millionaire
 Some are gone for good, yeah some still livin' here
 But you know
 Me I'm just the same I'm lost in a crowd
 Lookin' for the rain in a thunder cloud
 I have moved around but it don't matter though
 One thing I have found there are just two ways to go
 It all comes down to livin' fast or dyin' slow
 I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
 I had robbed myself of all my precious time
 Yes I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
 I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
 I had robbed myself of all my precious time
