Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the southern side of cowtown with a six string and dream
Playing dives and singing songs, I found a crowd inside this scene
Looking back at all the miles, now was it luck or destiny?
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Verse 2]
Cut through the winds out in west Texas with a melody in tow
I loaded up west 84, and down the road we'd go
With a guitar in my hand you know there ain't no guarantee
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Chorus]
They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
Oh, and if I fall behind, I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Verse 3]
I woke up lonely in San Marcos with heartache on my mind
A wino and a poet, here to stand the test of time
I thought I'd play this stage forever, but even Willie would agree
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used be
[Verse 4]
Now it's been a long, long time since I was drunk in George's bar
But with these songs I sang, I saw this country near and far
Now I've settled down in Fort Worth, but in the mirror, I still see
I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Chorus]
They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
Oh, and if I fall behind, I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Bridge]
A million miles of highway, and I still got room to run
I was there at the beginning, and I'm not close to being done
Some say legends never die, I hope that some remember me
But I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
[Chorus]
They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
And if I fall behind, I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
Yeah, I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
