"Well it don't pay
To stand up to the old days
It's the cowards
Who are fighting the good life"
Can't help but think this song is about someone who left town becaus they thought they had to, for whatever reason. For work survival, to stay young, yadda yadda.
But the good life, if you have it now, might not be wherever you go next.
Hence, "I'll be a hundred years gone, but the story goes on, of a man who was wrong."
