Well I 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 been two times around
And there ain´t nothing but pain around the bend
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

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
Oh but I´m dreaming again
I know that I´m here till the end
There´s too much craziness here
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes

Well you might think that I´m all wrong
The things I say in this song
I really wish I could see it your way
Cause there´s a storm rollin´ in
And it just might be the end
So I´m praying we´ll all get away
Now my cup is running dry
The weight of the world gets me down
There´s too much craziness here
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes

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.
