Mixed-Up Sensations Lyrics

When I was small
Not prone to caring
And I didn't count the days at all
Old age was leather skinned
Wide eyed and wedding ringed worn thin
Worn thin with some time sharing

Cool eighteen
And finished learnin'
There was nothin' more to know to know
And my first girl lay wide eyed
And innocence was lost and good-byed forever
And in my soul I was burnin'

It's a mixed up sensation
This being alive
Oh it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
Oh it makes a man frown

Now I'm grown
And sometime travellin'
And I don't quite feel at ease at ease
Tongue tied and mystified
I work it out
Lord I'm wonderin'
Lord I'm wonderin'
Lord I'm wonderin'
