Ages Songtext

von Jim Croce

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

(CHORUS)
I've traded love for pennies
Sold my soul for less
Lost my ideas 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 only got a dime
Difference don't seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million I was searching all the time
For something that I'd never lost or left behind

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Well now I'm in my second circle and I'm heading for the top
I learned a lot of things along the way
I'll be careful while I'm climbing cuz it hurts a lot to drop
When you're down nobody gives a damn anyway

(REPEAT CHORUS)
