Lyrics
This old life has flown by
I can't change it and I won't try
I have not always been as you see me now
I had money, looks and charm
Beautiful women hanging on my word and on my arm
I have not always been as you see me now
The wind it blew, the storm it came
I lost it all, my fortune and fame
I was a beggar, I'd been a thief
I was the king of self-deceit
At the bottom from the top
Now I love the simple life I've got
I have not always been as you see me now
From a lion to a lamb
From a boy to a man
I have not always been as you see me now
At the bottom from the top
Now I love the simple life I've got
I have not always been
I have not always been
Oh, as you see me now
As you see me now
As you see me now
Hey, hey
