Past My Prime - Greensky Bluegrass

Twenty-seven dollars

In an old jean jacket

And there’s dust under the collar

Because I’ve been walking for hours

But I’m almost where

I said that I would be

Just like long television

This heart full of ambition

Has been haunting my dreams

Reaching for grander things

And I never really knew

If they could be mine

But I’m out way past my prime

Looking for reasons I didn’t get my time

Keep a bottle top list

Of the chances I missed

While I’m on my way

To that vacant place

And I promised myself

I would not escape

One more drink

And I’m anyone’s useless mess

Just a helpless man

With no self defense

If I’m not yours

What are you looking for?

But I’m out way past my prime

Looking for reasons I didn’t get my time

My knees aren’t bleeding when I seem defeated

If I try to save face before I make it

To where I set out

And swore that I would find
