One American morning
When I was young
I knew the way
It was there clear as day
And the road I was on
And you were my baby
And we were so close
Now I wander around
Lost in this town
Just like a ghost
I can remember
Falling under a spell
It was so long ago
Now I'm too old for fairytales
Now everything is different
And so much the same
And everyone wants
Just one more chance
And someone to blame
I should know better
But I'm beyond the pale
And I should let go
Because I'm too old for fairytales
I'm so tired of chasin'
Fortune and fame
I'm tired of this life
I'm tired of the fight
I'm bored with the game
And once in a blue moon
I go off the rails
And I can't be told
That I'm too old
For fairytales
I can't be told
That I'm too old
For fairytales
