The years have come like velvet night

My youth beneath stole the pale moonlight

My bones are aching with the weight of time

I feel ancient long before my prime

The mirror shows a stranger's weathered face

I've lived too fast in this endless race

The reaper's shadow lingers at my door

I'm not ready yet, I want so much more

Old before I die…

The fire burns too soon before my time

The wild winds howl and steal what's mine

The clock won't slow its cruel design

Old before I die…

The darkness calls my weary fly

The silence carries heavy shame

And nothing left to feel any flame

Hey you!! …. Old before I die

The women loved me in the midnight hour

The whiskey burned like a sacred power

The roads were endless, the nights were wild

I was the king of the reckless child

Now the morning light feels cold and cruel

I've paid the price like a hopeless fool

The reaper's shadow lingers at my door

I'm not ready yet, I want so much more

Old before I die…

The fire burns too soon before my time

The wild winds howl and steal what's mine

The clock won't slow its cruel design

Old before I die…

The darkness calls my weary fly

The silence carries heavy shame

And nothing left to feel any flame

Hey you!! …. Old before I die

Old before I die…

Old before I die…
