Ahead Of My Time

I'm sorry sir I don't mean to intrude
But if there's room for one more here in this corner booth
I just need a minute of your time
Got nothing to sell you just remind me of someone the mirror ain't seen in a while
There's just something behind those eyes I've seen before
So let me say that the heart is no place for a war
It's been a while since you've seen that Mr. Daniel's ain't the proof you need I've got the tab but I've got no where to be

Cause buddy I know the pain of being told goodbye
And all those what ifs could haves that keep you up at night
Well my years are short but my days are long I've had it right and I've got it wrong but I know that one day you'll be alright
Trust me buddy
I'm ahead of my time

One thing mama taught me long ago
Is it don't cost a dime to shelter a weathered soul
So if my hardship led me to you then I just might know what'll pull you through
No one tells you what to do when you become one yourself

Cause buddy I know the pain of being told goodbye
And all those what ifs could haves that keep you up at night
Well my years are short but my days are long I've had it right and I've got it wrong but I know that one day you'll be alright
Trust me buddy
I'm ahead of my time
I'm ahead of my time
I'm ahead of my time
