lyrics

Looking in the mirror… who's that staring back at me
Some old man… that I don't even know
Don't know where the time went… or how it slipped away
But it won't be long… till it's my time to go

We played all the big shows from Maine to Alabam'
From Portland all the way to San Antone
Every kind of good time that a man could ever want
And I never had to spend a night alone

I used to be a showman
Travelled all this country far and wide
Up and down these highways
This old guitar by my side

Now my days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer
As time goes sailing by
I used to be so young and bold… but now I’m tired and old
Rocking on this back porch on my own

But it ain’t so bad…. when I think about the times we had
Remember that old truck stop out on highway 49
When Billy Bob sat in with the band
He got drunk and blew us off the stand Lord, Lord
Somewhere out on Highway 49

I was happy then…. life was sweeter then….
Every day was full of promises and endless roads to run
Pretty girls and living in the sun
Each and every rainbow’s end was just round the bend
Aw man… I thought it would never end
Now I sit alone and reminisce on stories I could tell
Tears of sadness, happiness and joy
And if I had a dollar for every tear I cried
I’d give it all to be back on the road
I used to be a showman
Traveled all this country far and wide
Up and down these highways
This old guitar by my side
