Testo Running Out Of Time

On the southern side of cowtown with a six string and dream
Playing dives and singing songs I found a crowd inside this scene
Looking back at all the miles
Now was it luck or destiny
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

Cut through the winds out in west Texas with a melody in tow
I loaded up west 84 and down the road we'd go With a guitar in my hand you know there ain't no guarantee
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
Oh and if I fall behind I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

I woke up lonely in San Marcos with heartache on my mind
A wino and a poet here to stand the test of time
I thought I'd play this stage forever
But even Willie would agree
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used be
Now it's been a long long time since I was drunk in George's bar
But with these songs I sang I saw this country near and far
Now I've settled down in Fort Worth
But in the mirror I still see
I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
Oh and if I fall behind I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
And I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

A million miles of highway and I still got room to run
I was there at the beginning and I'm not close to being done
Some say legends never die, I hope that some remember me
But I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be

They say nothing stays forever
My next day might be my last
And if I fall behind I could just fade into to the past
So I'm drinking till the break of dawn
Living wild and free
I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
Yeah I'm running out of time to be the man I used to be
