Lyrics

IN MY YOUNGER DAYS
GLENN KAISER

IN MY YOUNGER DAYS,
I ALMOST LOST MY MIND
IN THE SUMMER DAYS, SWALLOWED
ANYTHING I’D FIND
IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I
WOULD HAVE LEFT IT ALL BEHIND

LORD, I DRANK MYSELF TO SLEEP, AND YOU
KNOW I WOKE UP CRYIN’
I DRUGGED MYSELF TO SLEEP, HOW I USED
TO WAKE UP CRYIN’
ONLY ONE THING THAT I’M SURE OF—ONLY
GRACE KEPT ME FROM DYIN’
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS

PEOPLE LOOKED AT ME
LIKE I WAS IN MY PRIME
DIDN’T KONW FACT FROM FICTION,
NOT A DOLLAR FROM A DIME
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS

LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTNIN’
THROUGH MY WINDOWPANE
I SAW THE WRITIN’ ON MY WALL, AND THERE
I SAW MY NAME
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS,
I FINALLY HIT THE GROUND
I SAW THE DOOR TO PARADISE, AND HOW I
CRIED OUT LOUD
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS
I MET LOVE—AND IT MOVED ME
GONE FROM LOST TO BEIN’ FOUND
