Former Me Songtext

von J.J. Cale

Yes, I used to know a fellow
He was lighter on his feet
Just as quick as a sparrow
That was the former me

Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me

Those days have been lost in my mind
A fancy man, I won't deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]

From the dawn to the sunset of my life
It's a truth I could not see
Not till later did I recognize the guy
It was the former me

Those days have been 'bossed in my mind
Fancy man, I won't deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]

Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me
