[Verse 1]
It couldn't have ever dawned on me
All the things that I would be
I never really looked out quite that far
It's never been a simple thing
To see the world with a young man's brain
With an old man's heart, restless soul
[Verse 2]
Yeah, my family went broke my eighteenth year
Dad took a job many miles from here, that
That was alright by me, I was on my own
I had a band, found a job, life was alright
I worked when I had to, we played all the time
Only got through that first year of college, alright
[Chorus]
But I learned more on the freight docks
Drivin' forklifts on a 3 o'clock AM shift
In the winter time, man, it got cold
Sellin' guitars on the west coast
Goin' hungry, chasin' ghosts around
And around we would go
And I saw it all tendin' bar at night
Treatin' saints and sinners right
Is a good thing to do all the time
You never know who you're talkin' to
But always know who's watchin' you
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
It couldn't have ever dawned on me
All the things that I would be
I never really looked out quite that far
It's never been a simple thing
To see the world with a young man's brain
With an old man's heart, restless soul
[Verse 2]
Yeah, my family went broke my eighteenth year

Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
