[Verse 1]

Well, I've been drinkin' again

And I know it's a sin

But I just can't refuse an old friend

Cause life is gettin' me down

And I've been two times around

And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend


[Chorus]

I'm not made for the time

I'm born in the wrong century

There's too much craziness here

In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes


[Verse 2]

Now this old world is a fright

You know my future ain't bright

And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could

Or maybe live out in space

Or some other far away place

And not come back to this Earth till it's good


[Chorus]

Oh, but I'm dreaming again

I know that I'm here till the end, and what a long time

There's too much craziness here

In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes

Oh yeah


[Verse 3]

Well, you might think that I'm wrong

The things I say in this song

I really wish I could see it your way

But there's a storm rollin' in

And it just might be the end

So I'm praying we'll all get away


[Chorus]

Now my cup's running dry

The weight of the world gets me down

There's way too much craziness here

In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes

Oh yeah

There's nowhere to turn

So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more

It's all I can do till we find something new

But I'll get by, you know I'll try

In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
