Back when I was a young man

I used to be a hard one

I could whiip any beast

That stood my path

Now I'm long in the tooth

And I only seek comfort

My days pass like hours

And the world moves too fast.

If I could run from revelation

I'd run straight back to genesis.

Cry, I want to do it again

Cry, I want to do it again.

Back when I was a young man

I used to be a strong one

I could stand through the storm

And command it to pass

Now I'm long in the tooth

And I'm telling you children

You'd better learn some respect

Because I don't need your sass.

If I could run from revelation

I'd run straight back to genesis.

Cry, I want to do it again

Cry, I want to do it again.
