Of all the words I've spoken
And lies that I've told
Of all the hearts left broken
Begged for, bought, and sold
Lord, I'm feeling lonely
Feel like I can't go on
The streets have all grown cold now
The mystery's all gone...
She's all gone..
She's all gone, gone gone...
All gone, now.....
She's all.....
Well I ain't gettin' any younger
Can't you see it in my eyes
The sweet has turned to sour
I think it's time for me to fly
Well my vices have turn to habits
And my habits have turn to stone
Life's just a wink and smile now, man
While the truth nails me down to the bone
One more step, I swear and I go over the edge
I gotta stop livin' at a pace that kills
Before I wake up dead
Good times (good times)
Bad times (bad times)
How life loves a tragedy
Heart breaks (heart breaks)
Heart aches (heart aches)
How life loves a tragedy
The nights I spent in danger
With strangers I thought were friends
Only to awake in anger
For some pleasure they swore they'd sin
I think it's time I move on like a rolling stone
'Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
Try to sell the ones I stole
Good times (good times)
Bad times (bad times)
How life loves a tragedy
Heart breaks (heart breaks)
Heart aches (heart aches)
How life loves a tragedy
Well I paid the price
For every thrill I got
Those thrills are all long gone now, baby
But I'm still paying for 'em like it or not
I think it's time I move on like a rolling stone
Cause I got all the broken dreams I can buy
Gotta sell the ones I stole
Good times (good times)
Bad times (bad times)
How life loves a tragedy
Heart breaks (heart breaks)
Heart aches (heart aches)
How life loves a tragedy
Good times (good times)
Bad times (bad times)
How life loves a tragedy
Heart breaks (heart breaks)
Heart aches (heart aches)
How life loves a tragedy
And lies that I've told
Of all the hearts left broken
Begged for, bought, and sold
Lord, I'm feeling lonely
Feel like I can't go on
The streets have all grown cold now
The mystery's all gone...
She's all gone..
She's all gone, gone gone...
All gone, now.....
She's all.....
Well I ain't gettin' any younger
