Lyrics
So Far (most recent version)
© 2009 Kevin Pearson / Mark Preston
V1
I don’t remember what I was looking for
when I noticed a loose board in the attic floor
raised up under that old baby crib
I guess the summer's heat
Must'a Loosened it a bit cause I could see
It'd been cut away once and then re-fit
and Hidden by forty years of dust
Grabbed a hammer and I pried it up
a shoe box there, marked don't throw me away
that was chock full of….., nineteen sixty eight
CHORUS
A letter that read this is my life so far
picture of a young man sittin in his souped up car
An Ohio's for Kennedy badge
pinned to a June headline about a world gone mad
a scribbled I love you, on a picture from prom night
a Rolling Stones forty Five tucked inside
a happy eighteenth, birthday card
and a letter that starts
this is my life so far
V2
I considered not distrubing the young man's past
til I read what he wrote about growing up so fast
a draft notice and a choice to make
an Uncle in Toronto
and a daddy telling him please don't go
writes he's still not sure yet as of today
says he'll laugh when he reads this again
knowing how it had all played out by then
I folded his letter put it back in his box
my mind filled with…, all his distant thoughts
CHORUS
A letter that read this is my life so far
picture of a young man sittin in his souped up car
An Ohio's for Kennedy badge
pinned to a June headline about a world gone mad
a scribbled I love you, on a picture from prom night
a Rolling Stones forty Five tucked inside
a happy eighteenth, birthday card
and a letter that starts
this is my life so far
BRIDGE
I did a little research
found his name in a phone book up North
and again on a wall in Washington, that said he was an Ohio boy
I never did make that call, I didn't want to know for sure
buried it all back under the floor, and pounded extra nails into that board
CHORUS
A letter that read this is my life so far
picture of a young man sittin in his souped up car
An Ohio's for Kennedy badge
pinned to a June headline about a world gone mad
a scribbled I love you, on a picture from prom night
a Rolling Stones forty Five tucked inside
a happy eighteenth, birthday card
and a letter that starts
this is my life so far
