Lyrics “Troubadour”
I still feel 25
Most of the time
I still raise a little cain with the boys
Honky tonk and pretty woman
Lord I’m still right there with them
Singing above the crowd and the noise
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Still trying to make a name
Knowing nothings gonna change what I am
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
And I’ll be an old troubadour
When I’m gone
Well, The truth about a mirror
It’s that a damn old mirrow
Don’t really tell the whole truth
It don’t show what’s deep inside
Oh read between the lines
It’s really no reflection of my youth
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
And I’ll be an old troubadour
When I’m gone
I’ll be an old troubadour
When I’m gone
