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
