J.j. Cale - Former Me lyrics

rate me

Yes, I used to know a fellow

He was lighter on his feet

Just as quick as a sparrow

That was the former me

Since I been here for so long now

Now I think that I can see

Acquaint myself with that fellow

Who was the former me

Those days have been lost in my mind

A fancy man, I won't deny

When I think about it nowadays

Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]

From the dawn to the sunset of my life

It's a truth I could not see

Not till later did I recognize the guy

It was the former me

Those days have been 'bossed in my mind

Fancy man, I won't deny

When I think about it nowadays

Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]

Since I been here for so long now

Now I think that I can see

Acquaint myself with that fellow

Who was the former me
