The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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

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

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
