"Former Me" lyrics - J.J. CALE

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