Mother Rose - When I Was a Little Younger Lyrics

When I was a little younger
My dad taught me to hold my head up
He taught me to walk these streets with gusto, with gumption
Now I'm a little older
Buzz drunk, got no one to shoulder
Talking to myself every night
Every morn'
The silence of the night
How it beckons me
I want to crawl away, now
Into the safety of my mind and my insanity
Where nobody can confide in me
No one will notice
Notice when I
Keel over and die
Keel over and die
I know I'm wrong
But it feels so right
There's someone in my head telling me I might
Lose it all over a fire when it's burning bright
Oh, I'm never-I'm always-
I'm never gonna win the fight
No one will notice
Notice when I
Keel over and die
Keel over and die
When I finally go
Will you tell of all my glories
Cuz I tried my best to become
The man in all my stories
When I was a little younger
You taught me to hold my head up
You taught me to walk these streets with gusto, with gumption
Now you're gone and I'm all alone here
My family done run out on me cuz
Everyone will either die on me or lose faith in me
No one will notice
Notice when I
Keel over and die
Keel over and die
Keel over and die
Keel over and die
