Long In the Tooth

I knew a young man with a head full of fire

Tear it down, cut it up, boys, he just couldn't tire

He wrote his own story and he lived it out loud

But it's come to the end now and it ain't working out

Maybe I'm living in a time out of mind

I got the feeling, but I ain't got the fight

And maybe I'm gettin' a little long in the tooth

To go out running 'round chasing down yesterday's truths

I used to write poems with a voice so clear

But I gave 'em all to pretty girls in my younger years

I used to get high when the lights came down

But I feel so low now when I'm out on the town

Maybe I'm living in a time out of mind

I got the feeling, but I ain't got the fight

And maybe I'm gettin' a little long in the tooth

To go out running 'round chasing down yesterday's truths

Well, maybe I'm living in a time out of mind

I got the feeling, but I ain't got the fight

And maybe I'm gettin' a little long in the tooth

To go out running 'round chasing down yesterday's truths
