Old Before My Time Lyrics - Allman Brothers Band

There is a long hard road follows for behind me 

It's so cold I'm about to die 

Chasing a dream around the world it's got me feeling down 

Though it use to make me high 

Looking for answers searching for the truth 

In an ocean of lies 

Trying to find a reason to make the hole thing right 

Will make you old before your time 

When I was younger, I thought I ruled the world 

It was an oyster at my feet 

Dancing to my own drum, fishing out the pearl 

Yes I would have been much more discreet

I've lived a lifetime, acting out apart 

It's been a long uphill climb 

now all the things that use to mean so much to me 

Has made me old before my time 

Wondering aimlessly, wondering down 

Would it ever be much different now 

Remind me of the past, I slip into a dream 

Funny things ain't never what they seem 

Living like children, never doing what we are told 

Would not hesitate to take to take a chance 

That road behind me now was paved with fool's gold 

It's almost time for the victory dance

No more feeling guilty, for things I never did 

Feeling nothing for my crime 

Living like a gypsy, dreaming like a kid 

It makes me old before my time 

There is a long hard road, it lies so far behind me
