This heartfelt ballad is a reflection on the passage of time, and the way it shapes us while leaving our core selves untouched. The singer sees himself as a troubadour, a wandering performer whose life is dedicated to his music. Despite feeling older and recognizing that he's not the young man he once was, he still feels youthful at heart. The song also suggests a sense of acceptance. He understands that fame or recognition won't change who he truly is - a simple man with love for music. Even when looking in the mirror, he knows it doesn't reflect his true self or his vibrant youthfulness. It's an ode to staying true to oneself despite age or circumstances, emphasizing that we remain who we are deep down, no matter how much life changes around us.
Troubadour
Lyrics
I still feel twenty five
Most of the time
I still raise a little Cain with the boys
Honky Tonks and pretty women
But Lord, I'm still right there with 'em
Singing above the crowd and the noise
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Still trying to make a name
Knowing nothing's gonna change
What I am
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
And I'll be an old troubadour
When I'm gone
Well, the truth about a mirror
Is that a damned old mirror
Don't really tell the whole truth
It don't show what's deep inside
Or read between the lines
And it's really no reflection of my youth
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Still trying to make a name
Knowing nothing's gonna change
What I am
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
I'll be an old troubadour
When I'm gone
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
And I'll be an old troubadour
When I'm gone
I'll be an old troubadour
When I'm gone
