When you're nothing to no one

And you're less than you can

And you're looking for someone

Who won't cling to anything

So you're stuck in some motel

With the sound of her sleeping

Don't you feel kinda old now

Well ain't that a funny thing

I used to wake up early

I used to try to believe

But life seems neverending

When you're young

So you're back on the highway

And there's wind in her hair

And you know that it's no time for thinking

About somebody up there

'cause you'll turn her to drinking

And you'll lead her to hell

With her bottle beside her

She surely looks like an angel

I used to wake up early

I used to try to believe

But faith is never easy

When you're young

No no no

I used to wake up early

Now it's hard, hard enough to sleep

But life seems neverending

When you're young

Oh no no no no
