Many times many years ago in another life it seems
Daylight got in the way it was just the in between
Smoke-filled debauchery that kept my youth afloat
World could've burned around me and I've never known
Late snack was a breakfast setting sun my alarm
Weren't much that I met there that didn't cause me harm
Life I knew before then moved on as it should
While I turned it up and shot it back and sank where I stood
Well I know that I missed me some good times
And I know that I lost me some friends
I've heard of my exploits and travels
But I've made my way round the bend
I hear I was sometimes a bastard
Some stories I hear really sting
I wish I knew who to say sorry to
But I can't remember these things
Some family they grew up in the midst of my wilt
Those young ones never knew me and never really will
Still I try to find something some way to relate
To break bread and inquire and find us a way
Some friends they got married and had them some kids
I used to thank my lucky stars that I never did
But I've since found my wife and my two loving sons
I wouldn't change a damn thing now for all that I've done
Well I know that I missed me some good times
And I know that I lost me some friends
I've heard of my exploits and travels
But I've made my way round the bend
I hear I was sometimes a bastard
Some stories I hear really sting
I wish I knew who to say sorry to
But I can't remember these things
