Old Black Crow
On the day that I was born
I started growing old
A head of gray had by the age of 23
This hard luck living's gonna be the end of me
The old black crow leavin' tracks all across my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna be the end of me
I dropped out of school before I learned to think
Because all I wanna do is play the guitar and sing
And everything I know now,
I learned it on the road
And I've been damn near everywhere but I've got no place to go
The old black crow leavin' tracks all over my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna kill me
Or make me lose my mind
Every inch I pull ahead, I fall a foot behind
And I'll never be a gambler
'Cause I don't get the cards
And you can't take it with you to the old graveyard
The old black crow leavin' tracks all across my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna be the end of me
I started growing old
A head of gray had by the age of 23
This hard luck living's gonna be the end of me
The old black crow leavin' tracks all across my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna be the end of me
I dropped out of school before I learned to think
Because all I wanna do is play the guitar and sing
And everything I know now,
I learned it on the road
And I've been damn near everywhere but I've got no place to go
The old black crow leavin' tracks all over my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna kill me
Or make me lose my mind
Every inch I pull ahead, I fall a foot behind
And I'll never be a gambler
'Cause I don't get the cards
And you can't take it with you to the old graveyard
The old black crow leavin' tracks all across my face
And everywhere I go I seem to be in the same damn place
Hard living's gonna be the end of me
