I was born in a world of trouble

Trouble is my first name

I used to drink 'til I was seein' double

But lately I been changin'my ways



Came of age in a Texas town

North of San Antone

That's where I heard the mockingbird

And the sound of the whistle moan



People say that your reward

Is waiting after judgment day

But I just couldn't wait around that long

I don't care what the people say

Don't care what the people say



CHORUS:

Because, yesterday is gone

and tomorrow never comes

Yesterday is gone

and tomorrow never comes



Your life is what you make it

And it isn't what it seems

But you wan't even live at all

Unless you try to live your dreams

Unless you try to live your dreams



So go get what it is you're after

And you leave the rest behind

Then you never know the sorrow

Of regret for losin'time

Regret for losin'time



I was born in a world of trouble

Trouble is my first name

I used to drink 'til I was seein' double

But lately I been changin'my ways
