Old Before Your Time - Ray LaMontagne And The Pariah Dogs

When i was a younger man looking for a pot of gold

Everywhere i turned the doors were closing

It took every ounce of faith i had to keep on keeping on

And still i felt like i was only losing

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 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 realize it's not worth keeping 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 turning gold

Like the sky my soul is also turning

Turning from the past at last and all i've left behind

Could it be that i am finally learning

Learnin that i'm deserving of love and the peaceful heart

I won't tear myself apart no more for trying

Tired of lyin to myself trying to buy what can't be bought

It's not living that you're doing if it feels like dying

Crying growing old before your time

Crying growing old before your time
