I'VE AGED TWENTY YEARS IN FIVE

WRITERS B. PARRISH, C. GORDON

As I look in the mirror this morning

On some dirty old restroom wall

It took a while to realize it's really me there inside

'Cause I've aged twenty years in five.

I recall when I looked much younger

And it wasn't so long ago

But one night of drinking to four nights of wine

And you'll age twenty years in five.

Chorus:

I've aged twenty years in five

I've seen the dark side of life

From a mansion on a hill

To straight whiskey from a still

And you'll age twenty years in five.

Before the bottle I played my music

On the road with a five piece band

And with the pressures of the game

I drank up fortune and fame

And I aged twenty year in five.

Oh, but I'll change this way I've been living

Or I'll be gone before my time

I'll climb back to the top

And with my friends I won't stop

Till I erase twenty years in five.

Yes, I'll erase twenty years in five...
