Shovels Rope Good Old Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been lookin' for a feeling I can't find
There's no barren wasteland like the back of my mind
Maybe it's just that I never really made the time
Maybe it's selfish of me to feel like I'm always bein' robbed of mine
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
I'll sing you something from the good old days
My hair had been turned a clean white beige
It's my solemn review

[Verse 2]
I hate myself a little more each day
I hate my fingers for the way they play
I hate I can't think of the words I wanna say
And I hate just as I think of them, you're already walking away
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
I'll sing you something from the good old days
My hair had been turned a clean white beige
It's my solemn review
I don't even know what I'm trying to say
I wish that you could see her, I wish you coulda stayed
Now you've been reborn, I'm still a mouse in a maze
And I sing it out to you


[Bridge]
Let a little time go by
Let old dogs lie
Try, try
Try

[Chorus]
Tell me the one about the lion in the cage
I'll sing you something from the good old days
My hair had been turned a clean white beige
It's my solemn review
I don't even know what I'm trying to say
I wish that you could see her, I wish you coulda stayed
Now you've been reborn, I'm still a mouse in a maze
And I sing it out to you
