When youre nothing to no one
And youre less than you can
And youre looking for someone
Who wont cling to anything
So youre stuck in some motel
With the sound of her sleeping
Dont you feel kinda old now
Well aint that a funny thing
I used to wake up early
I used to try to believe
But life seems neverending
When youre young
So youre back on the highway
And theres wind in her hair
And you know that its no time for thinking
About somebody up there
cause youll turn her to drinking
And youll lead her to hell
With her bottle 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 youre young
No no no
I used to wake up early
Now its hard, hard enough to sleep
But life seems neverending
When youre young
Oh no no no no
