when you`re nothing to no one
and you`re less than you can
and you`re looking for someone
who won`t cling to anything
so you`re stuck in some motel
with the sound of her sleeping
don`t you feel kinda old now
well ain`t that a funny thing
i used to wake up early
i used to try to believe
but life seems neverending
when you`re young
so you`re back on the highway
and there`s wind in her hair
and you know that it`s no time for thinking
about somebody up there
`cause you`ll turn her to drinking
and you`ll lead her to hell
with her bible beside her
she surely looks like an angel
i used to wake up early
i used to try to believe
but faith is never easy
when you`re young
no no no
i used to wake up early
now it`s hard, hard enough to sleep
but life seems neverending
when you`re young
oh no no no no
