I still feel 25 Most of the time I still raise a little Cain with the boys Honky Tonks and pretty women But Lord I'm still right there with'em Singing above the crowd and the noise Sometimes I feel like Jesse James Still trying to make a name Knowing nothing's gonna change What I am I was a young troubador When I wrote in on a song And I'll be an old troubador When I'm gone Well the truth about a mirror Is that a damn old mirror Don't really tell the whole truth It don't show what's deep inside Or read between the lines And it's really no reflection of my youth Sometimes I feel like Jesse James Still trying to make a name Knowing nothing's gonna change What I am I was a young troubador When I wrote in on a song And I'll be an old troubador When I'm gone I was a young troubador When I wrote in on a song And I'll be an old troubador When I'm gone I'll be an old troubador When I'm gone
