lyrics

I got old so fast
I didn’t even see it coming
Twenty years of work
Fifteen of cheap living

Oh, to be young
Full of vinegar and piss
With a vision of the country
And a good woman’s kiss

But life gives the wound
And life rubs the salt
Life beats you to a pulp

All of my past lives
Exposed in a highlight reel
The traveling troubadour’s ballad
The silver salesman’s deal

I never wanted nothing
‘Cept a nice and quiet life
A home in the country
With a baby and a wife

But life gives the wound
And life rubs the salt
Life beats you to a pulp
