we thought we'd live forever
at least we'd never change
runnin' like them wild horses
free out on the range
but all things never stay the same
both over and under the sun
now you don't get to where you want
as quick as you would have done
the different isn't all that much so you don't put up a stink
it's not enough to change your mind but it's enough to make you think
you wonder 'bout the future, just where you'll get your thrill
you wonder how much faster it is going down the hill
you take a peak on down the road and it cuts you like a knife
but it's something that we all go through
it's just a fact of life
you wonder what it's all about and if you ever will understand
if you got rock solid proof for me i sure would like a hand
you think a little longer before you take another drink
it doesn't seem so cool anymore to find your head down in the sink
and all those things that you used to do without a sense of fear
ther's a few that you wouldn't do right now
that's probably why you're here
and all those dreams that you used to have that got left up in the air
if you had the chance to do them now, tell me would you even dare
so you are here in your 40th year, you wonder what's the rush
you've blown as many chances as the hairs left in your brush
and when the bells of life for you have left a common ring
there's only one thing left to do
that's to play guitar and sing
it's as good as any reason to explain the things i do
take a second romp through childhood is all i want to do
