There's a place in my home town Where everybody goes A little cafe down on Market Street
Used to find Bill behind the counter Given wisdom up for free I'd tell him about my big plans And this is what he said to me
He said, Be careful what you wish for It can turn down on you Things you think that mean the most Are only something new It's never too late to start seeing how your life is passing by When you're walking down that golden road Searching for the Truth
Yesterdays keep stacking up And turning into years It feels good to be in my hometown again Now there's a boy behind the counter Where ol' Bill stood back then He tells me all his hopes and dreams And this is what I say to him
I said, Be careful what you wish for It can turn down on you Things you think that mean the most Are only something new It's never too late to start seeing how your life is passing by When you're walking down that golden road Searching for the Truth
He who was once a boy is now a man Now I know so many things I wish I knew back then
Be careful what you wish for It can turn down on you Things you think that mean the most Are only something new It's never too late to start seeing how your life is passing by When you're walking down that golden road Searching for the Truth
When you're walking down that golden road Searching for the Truth
