As I look in the mirror this morning 

On some dirty old restroom wall 

It took a while to realize it's really me there inside 

'Cause I've aged twenty years in five. 

I recall when I looked much younger 

And it wasn't so long ago 

But one night of drinking to four nights of wine 

And you'll age twenty years in five. 

Chorus: 

I've aged twenty years in five 

I've seen the dark side of life 

From a mansion on a hill 

To straight whiskey from a still 

And you'll age twenty years in five. 

Before the bottle I played my music 

On the road with a five piece band 

And with the pressures of the game 

I drank up fortune and fame 

And I aged twenty year in five. 

Oh, but I'll change this way I've been living 

Or I'll be gone before my time 

I'll climb back to the top 

And with my friends I won't stop 

Till I erase twenty years in five. 

Yes, I'll erase twenty years in five...
