The Prime of My Life
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
Feeling like I never stood a chance
I was at the end of my rope saving one last dance
Not everybody gets a helping hand
Got a little hope from my folks, brother, sister, and my friends
Back in the saddle at the battle with the front of it
Couple near death type of nights where I wondered if
I'd make it out of my own penitentiary
I was lights out for what felt like half a century
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
I knew I always stood a chance
They tried to count me out but I always had bigger, better plans
It's easy to get caught up in their scams
They tell you how to dress, what to think
Who you are, and where you stand
Back in the saddle I was rattled by the brunt of it
But I bounced back, had to do it for the love of it
I'd made it out of my own penitentiary
Now it's lights out for the ones who condescend to me
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
I'm waking up again
My hibernation's done
I'm waking up again
It's time to see the sun
And the nightmare's finally gone
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
Prime of my life
The prime of my life
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
Feeling like I never stood a chance
I was at the end of my rope saving one last dance
Not everybody gets a helping hand
Got a little hope from my folks, brother, sister, and my friends
Back in the saddle at the battle with the front of it
Couple near death type of nights where I wondered if
I'd make it out of my own penitentiary
I was lights out for what felt like half a century
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
I knew I always stood a chance
They tried to count me out but I always had bigger, better plans
It's easy to get caught up in their scams
They tell you how to dress, what to think
Who you are, and where you stand
Back in the saddle I was rattled by the brunt of it
But I bounced back, had to do it for the love of it
I'd made it out of my own penitentiary
Now it's lights out for the ones who condescend to me
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
I'm waking up again
My hibernation's done
I'm waking up again
It's time to see the sun
And the nightmare's finally gone
Oh hey there
I'm waking up from a nightmare
I was afraid that I'd die scared
Lost in the prime of my life
So take care
Death is a cheat, he don't fight fair
Black 'round my eyes but I'm right here
Back in the prime of my life
Prime of my life
The prime of my life
