[Verse 1]
Twenty-seven dollars
In an old jean jacket
And there's dust under the collar
'Cause I've been walking for hours, but I'm almost where
I said that I would be

[Verse 2]
Just like long television
This heart full of ambition
Has been haunting my dreams
Reaching for grander things
And I never really knew
If they could be mine

[Chorus]
But I'm out way past my prime
Looking for reasons I didn't get my time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Keep a bottle top list of the chances I missed
While I'm on my way to that vacant place
And I promised myself
I would not escape
[Verse 4]
One more drink and I'm anyone's useless mess
Just a helpless man with no self defense
If I'm not yours, what are you looking for?

[Chorus]
But I'm out way past my prime
Looking for reasons I didn't get my time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
My knees aren't bleeding when I seem defeated
If I try to save face before I make it
To where I set out, and swore that I would find

[Chorus]
But I'm out way past my prime
Looking for reasons I didn't get my time
But I'm out way past my prime
Looking for reasons I didn't get my time
