Father Time

V1
You ran with the bad crowd everyday after school
fought imaginary enemies down the avenue
always taking advantage of the less fortunate
made out like a bandit, never failed to take the credit

Refrain
you're on a one way track,  ain't nobody got your back

Chorus
you may think you have all that you ever desired
but your memory is fading and your body grows tired 
there's one tall mountain you'll never climb
it's not long, you’ ll be brought down by Father Time

V2
sycophants danced 'round you like rock groupies 
you paid off everyone in sight even all the juries 
said you were in nam, claimed you earned the heart 
funny how your buddies don’t remember that part

Refrain
you're on a one way track,  ain't nobody got your back

Chrorus

Bridge
now your bones are aching and your eyes are dimming
it won't be very long, you've played your swan song

Chorus

Outro
