about an Old man making life his business
Just A lowly old man having fun writing songs
Lyrics
Running Out Of Time
G C G C
I'm Growing old, times flown right by
G C G D
I see my past, in my memories eye
C D G C
got things to do, before I die
G C D G
got to get em done, or I'll run out of time
G C G C
see things in this world , I've not seen before
G D G D
meet new people, that can open up new doors
C D G C
sing songs that are new, meaningful and bright
G C D G
do all those things, that will make my life feel right
Chorus:
C D
Cause I'm old and running out of time
G C
I know that I will toe the line
G D
to see a new and better me
C G
then find out just who I can be
G C G C
in my old age, I've slowed way down
G C G D
but not so slow, that I can't get to town
C D G C
I still look around, wink at pretty girls
G C D G
but all they want , are those Diamonds and Pearls
G C G C
So I walk the streets, and I dream on
G C G D
Memories of the past, that have come and have gone
C D G C
but I sing this song, just to let you know
G C D C
I'm not so old that my life can't grow
Chorus to end
C G
then find out just who I can be
C G
then find out just who I can be
At first I wasn't all that crazy about the lyrics on this one. But the more I listen to it the more positive I realize this really is. And the melody is fitting for the lyrics. The Mandolin adds the final touch that makes this an unforgettable song.
