In My Younger Days Lyrics

In my younger days,
I almost lost my mind
In the summer of my days, swallowed anything I'd find
If I knew then what I know now,
I would have left it all behind

Lord, I drank myself to sleep,
And you know I woke up cryin?
I drugged myself to sleep,
How I used to wake up cryin?
Only one thing that I'm sure of?
Only grace kept me from dyin?
In my younger days

People looked at me
Like I was in my prime
Didn't know fact from fiction,
Not a dollar from a dime
In my younger days
In my younger days

Like a bolt of lightnin?
Through my windowpane
I saw the writin? on my wall,
And there I saw my name
In my younger days,
I finally hit the ground
I saw the door to paradise, and how I cried out loud
In my younger days
In my younger days
I met love?and it moved me
Gone from lost to bein? found
