When An Old Man Cries

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
I'm 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
I'm disobeyed the signs
I've been up and down and in between
I've walked that line
I've walked that line
