FM - Days Gone By

Days gone by
I've been up
I've been down
I was lost
I'm still waitin' to be found
Look at me
What do you see
A washed-up could-have-been
Down on Gutter Street
There was a time I was ridin' high
I had money
Luck was on my side
Those days are gone
I've nothing left
It went on whisky, wine and women
And I wasted all the rest
I don't know where the years have gone
Where it all went wrong
Chorus
In those days gone by
I was looking at life through a young man's eyes
I was gonna rule the world
Have fancy cars and beautiful girls
In days gone by
I was gonna have my name in lights
Everybody would know my name
I'd trade my soul for fortune and fame
In those days gone by
In those days gone by
Here I am tonight
Lookin' at the stars
Well I almost touched on heaven
Came close but yet so far
Lookin' back I guess you could say
Well I squandered all my chances
I had fun along the way
All those things that might have been
Don't mean that much to me
Chorus
I just wish I could go back
But it's too late (it's too late)
Every dog must have its day
Chorus
