Old Blood Lyrics

I tried to capture glory

Sang songs in every bar

You make it in your hometown

You think that you’re a star

The only stars round here played football

I wrote songs ‘bout gettin’ out

We’d all wind up in those bathroom stalls

‘Til the bouncers kicked us out

I used to brag I’d messed around

With every girl in town

I used to rule these streets of mine

Oh yeah, once upon a time

And I’ve been holding on so long there’s nothing left

But the distant taste of youth upon my breath

Surrounded by the ghosts of all my long forgotten friends

Now I’m just old blood and regret

With time the bars I played in

They started shuttin’ down

And pretty soon well I became

The king without a crown

The stories they got taller

As friends all slipped away

Nights alone with the TV on

And drinkin’ through the day

I tried to capture glory

Sang songs in every bar

You make it in your hometown

You think that you’re a star
