       G         Emin  
 still feel 25 most of the time. 
          C                            G 
 I still raise a little cain with the boys. 
        G 
 Honky Tonks and pretty women, 
   Emin 
 But Lord I'm still right there with 'em 
  C                               G 
 Singing above the crowd and the noise... 


Chorus 
              G 
 Sometimes I feel like Jesse James 
        Emin  
 Still tryin' to make a name. 
           C                           G 
 Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am. 
          G       
 I was a young troubador 
         Emin 
 When I wrote in on a song. 
                 C                      G 
 And I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone... 

           G 
 Well the truth about a mirror... 
          Emin 
 Is that a damn old mirror... 
C                            G   
 Don't really tell the whole truth. 
          G 
 It don't show what's deep inside. 
     Emin 
 Or read between the lines. 
           C                          G 
 And it's really no reflextion of my youth... 


Chorus 
              G 
 Sometimes I feel like Jesse James 
        Emin 
 Still tryin' to make a name. 
          C                            G 
 Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am. 
          G 
 I was a young troubador 
         Emin 
 When I wrote in on a song. 
             C                      G 
 I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone... 
          G    
 I was a young troubador 
         Emin   
 When I wrote in on a song. 
                 C                      G  
 And I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone... 
             C                      G 
 I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone...
