Once We Were Thieves Lyrics

i knew somebody just like you
who never ever thought he would
get responsible for the things he does
and in the jail he ended up

i remember once we were thieves
we had the whole world at our feet
i hop my son will find his way
and learn from my mistakes

now i am only 22
so naive but not a fool
i write songs with my guitar the last note is always hard to find

and maybe one day we'll get it right
i won't give up without a fight
tonight a season ends
but the struggle still goes on and on

now i've become just like you
i never ever thought i would
become just a shadow of what i used to be
