When an Old Man Cries (Acoustic Version)

When I look into your eyes

I see my hopes and dreams and all I wished I could be

I watched half my life through a whiskey bottle

I’ve walked the knife

And seen the bottom

When I was young, I lived my life fast and hard

I thought I had it all

And I’m left with only scars

When an old man cries tears for his son

His heart of gold can break like glass

I’ve walked that line

I made mistakes

Disobeyed the signs

I’ve been up and down and in between

I’ve walked that line

I’ve walked that line

When it all came down

Like a rolling stone

The only thing I gathered

Was the pain I did not own

That well of holy water

Was really Devil’s blood

Sweet in the beginning

Then your drowning in the flood

When I was young, I lived my life fast and hard

I thought I had it all

And I’m left with only scars

When an old man cries tears for his son

His heart of gold can break like glass

I’ve walked that line

I made mistakes

Disobeyed the signs

I’ve been up and down and in between

I’ve walked that line

I’ve walked that line
