I walked straight off a confireld up north 1-45
Passed a marriage and a day job into the honkeytonks and dives
And I picked up a guitar and strapped it on my back
Then I put a pen to paper and fell into the cracks

And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten
Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again
And that's how I gave away my misspent youth
To kindred fools and disciples of the truth
For every mile of endless road there must have been a million songs
At the time I thought I'd done 'em right but in the end they turned out wrong
Then one morning i woke up with some dues under my belt
And for the first time in my life I told the world just how I felt

And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten
Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again
And that's how I gave away my misspent youth
To kindred fools and disciples of the truth

I guess hind sight's twenty-twenty 'cause looking back I can clearly see
Everything that I'd been searching for was always right in front of me
But it was all about the journey then and I rode that train into the ground
The rest is too much to remember now I guess I should have wrote it down

And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten
Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again
And that's how I gave away my misspent youth
To kindred fools and disciples of the truth
