Well, the band was on its final break
When he came walking in
The lies that showed more than his age
He was drunk, worn and thinHe sat down behind the ol' piano
And he ran through a couple of notes
And he said, "Would somebody buy me a drink, boys
To kinda help me clear my throat?"And he said, "What would you give to hear a song?
What prize do memories bring?
It ain't every day you get
To hear living legend sing"I may forget a line or two
A few words now and then
It takes a drink to make me think
And live it all againThis gray you see don't bother Jerry Lee
And neither do these lines
I may have seen some better days, boys
But God knows, I ain't reached my primeI've got some scars from a woman's war
And playing those one-night stands
Lord only knows, if I had the time
I'd do it all againYes, I could still make 'em dance
Like I did in times that's gone
And I can still make 'em cry
And I can touch 'em with a songI can still yet turn 'em on
The way that I did back then
Lord only knows, if I had the time
I'd do it all again
