Old Before Your Time Lyrics - God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise - Ray Lamontagne

When I was a younger man lookin' for a pot of gold 

Everywhere I turned the doors were closed 

Took every ounce of faith I had to keep on keepin' on 

still I felt like I was only losing 

I refused then like i do now to let anybody tie me down 

I lost a few good friends along the way 

I was raised up poor and I wanted more 

maybe I'm a little too proud 

Looking back I see a kid who was just afraid, 

hungry and old for his time 

Through the years I've known my share of broken- hearted fools, 

those who couldn't choose a path worth taking 

There's nothing in the world so sad as talking to a man who never knew his life was his for making. 

Aint it 'bout time you realized it's not worth keeping score, you win some, you lose some, you let it go 

What's the use in stacking on every failure another stone 

do you find you spend your whole life building walls 

Lonely, and old before you're time 

it took so long to see that truth was all around me 

now the Wren has gone to roost, the sky is turning gold 

like the sky my soul is also turning 

turning from the past at last and all it left behind 

could it be that i'm finally learning 

learning and deserving with love and a peaceful heart 

won't tear myself apart i'm all for trying 

done lying to myself, trying to buy what can't be bought 

it's not living that you're doing if it feels like dying 

it's crying(?) growing old before for your time 

trying(?) growing old before for your time
