Old Man Inside A Young Man lyrics

I was walking down the street when I met with Billy
He shook his head at me and then he shook my hand
He said `I`ve seen the world and done some living
I don`t believe in giving, gotta take it while you can`

(Chorus)
`I`m an old man inside a young man
You`ve got to take it while you can
I`m just an old man inside a young man
Take a heart and break it while you can`

He said `I`m sick of whores, mesdames and messieurs
The only kiss for me is the kiss of a knife
There`s no one thing on earth that I`m not through with
What can I do with the rest of my life?`

(Chorus)

Billy turned and he walked away, he said `I must be going
There`s just no knowing who follows me around
They see my fancy clothes and they want to shoot me
I`d rather be dead on my feet than dead down in the ground`

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus
