JJ Cale Former Me
Yes I used to know a fellow
He was lighter on his feet
Just as quick as a sparrow
That was the former me
Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me
Those days have been lost in my mind
A fancy man, I won’t deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can’t recall that former guy
From the dawn to the sunset of my life
It’s a truth I could not see
Not till later did I recognize the guy
That was the former me
Those days have been lost in my mind
A fancy man, I won’t deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can’t recall that former guy
Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me
