Age

I’ve been up and down and around and round and back again

Been so many places I can’t remember where or when

And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend

Never really was a friend at all

I’ve traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time

And I’ve turned inside out and around about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again.

Once I had myself a million now I’ve only got a dime

Difference don’t seem quite as bad today

With a nickel or a million I was searchin’ all the time

Something that I’d never lost or left behind

I’ve traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time

And I’ve turned inside out and around about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again.

And now I’m in my second circle and I’m headin’ for the top

I’ve learned a lot of things along the way

I’ll be careful while I’m climbin’ cause it hurts a lot to drop

When you’re down nobody cares a damn anyway

I’ve traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time

And I’ve turned inside out and around about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again.
