Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I've treated this ol body like a stolen car
Just some old disposable machine
Pedal to the metal and a trail of broken hearts
Yea I'd fill it up with almost anything
My motto was live fast and go out strong
But I never thought that I'd live this long

(Verse 2)
Once I had a woman and she treated me real good
The kinda love I never will replace
One day I thought I ain't seen the world the way I should
So one night I got up and stepped away
I knew there'd be some lonely's commin on
But I never thought that I'd live this long

(Chorus)
There have been many times I really should have died
But somehow I survived on my mistakes
They say it makes me stronger, but why does it take longer
Gettin up these days

(Verse 3)
Yea I'm old enough to have a few regrets
I'm still young enough to have my dreams
Maybe that's the reason that my life ain't over yet
All the places and faces I ain't seen
I probably won't have time to see them all
But then again I never thought I'd live this long
