I was walking down the street |
|
When I met with Billy |
|
He shook his head at me |
|
And then he shook my hand |
|
He said, I've seen the world |
|
And I've done some living |
|
I don't believe in giving |
|
You've got to take it while you can |
|
I'm an old man inside a young man |
|
You've got to take it while you can |
|
I'm just an old man inside a young man |
|
Take a heart and break it while you can |
|
He said, I'm sick of whores, |
|
Madames and misses |
|
The only kiss for me |
|
Is the kiss of a knife |
|
There's no one thing on earth |
|
That I'm not through with |
|
What can I do with |
|
The rest of my life? |
|
I'm an old man inside a young man |
|
You've got to take it while you can |
|
I'm just an old man inside a young man |
|
Take a heart and break it while you can |
|
Billy turned and he walked away |
|
He said, I must be going |
|
There's just no knowing |
|
Who follows me around |
|
They see my fancy clothes |
|
And they want to shoot me |
|
I'd rather be dead on my feet |
|
Than dead down in the ground |
|
I'm an old man inside a young man |
|
You've got to take it while you can |
|
I'm just an old man inside a young man |
|
Take a heart and break it while you can |
|
I'm an old man inside a young man |
|
You've got to take it while you can |
|
I'm an old man inside a young man |
|
Take a heart and break it while you can |
|
I'm just an old man inside a young man |
