[Intro]
G   Em   C   G
 
[Verse]
        G
I still feel 25
Em
  most of the time
        C                            G
I still raise a little cain with the boys
      G
Honky tonk and pretty woman
         Em
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
      Em
Still trying to make a name
        C                             G
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am
        G
I was a young troubadour
       Em
when I rode in on a song
               C
And I'll be an old troubadour
        (G)
when I'm gone
 
[Interlude]
G   Em   C   G
 
[Verse]
          G
Well, the truth about a mirror
         Em
Is that a damn old mirror
C                             G
  Don't really tell the whole truth
         G
It don't show what's deep inside
   Em
or read between the lines
         C                          G
and it's really no reflection of my youth
 
[Chorus]
            G
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
      Em
Still trying to make a name
        C                             G
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am
        G
I was a young troubadour
       Em
when I rode in on a song
           C
I'll be an old troubadour
         G
when I'm gone
 
        G
I was a young troubadour
       Em
when I rode in on a song
               C
And I'll be an old troubadour
         G       Em
when I'm gone
           C
I'll be an old troubadour
         G
when I'm gone
