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
