OLD BEFORE MY TIME GREGG ALLMAN

 Old before my time Gregg Allman

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  more discreet

I've lived a lifetime, acting out a part

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 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

Midnight Rider

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding

And I'm bound to keep on riding

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no

Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing

And the road goes on forever

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no

Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I've gone by the point of caring

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

No I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

I'm not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
