Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You had your run, and it's been a good one
Seems like the world is passing you by
Old Father Time, he just just keeps on tickin'
Still got a lotta life, and a song to sing
[Verse 2]
You fell in love, back in the day
Can't forget her face
Can't remember her name
She was a beauty, a shining star
Just when you weren't lookin'
She broke your heart
[Verse 3]
You've been down every highway
Burned your share of bridges
You found forgiveness
You think that you're still a young bull rider
You look in the mirror, and see an an old timer
[Verse 4]
One by one, your friend have crossed over
You pray for mercy, and a few more days
Still got dreams inside your head
Someday it's a struggle just to get out of bed
[Verse 5]
You've been down every highway
Burned your share of bridges
You found forgiveness
You think you're still a young bull rider
Till you look in the mirror, and see
An old timer
An old timer
