Corb Lund - Young and Jaded lyrics

My young and jaded heart and hatin' Used to look at love and hope it'd come to me sometime Till a wicked woman's wisdom shot me down Young and jaded, love has faded To a place I figure I can't ever occupy Well I'm sad and tired and glad to see it go Well I used to think that I'd escape misfortune coming down When love and lover mounted up and rode on into town And I used to take the things I'd find and put 'em all away I'd write 'em down and save 'em up for love's red letter day But now I've seen how cold and blue and false things get to be I write my songs and watch my step and leave the roses be
