There once was a time that we knew damn well we’d be wise beyond our years Now we’re old and it seems we’re getting dumber There once was a rhyme that would bring peacefulness to both of our ears But this music lets us know that we’re not getting any younger
My mother would not be proud of my mouth but I can get a sense Out that is sac-religious without sounding like a sailor Every time i go home for the holiday and tell her how its been The hurt ? it’s obvious I have failed her
but you don’t know no you can’t go where i’ve been and I don’t know No I’ll never get where I’m going
Cause ever day I hear some body saying something like Yeah I just got back from China backpacking and feeding food to children I have never strayed too far away from this east coast where I remain In my heart I am so envious I could kill them
And I am running out of time to do the things that you say I was put on this earth to do by god and his heaven. Seems that I believed in something then. dear lord what happened to my head. Now the days go by so fast that I lose time because I don’t sync it
but you don’t know no you can’t go where i’ve been and I don’t know No I’ll never get where I’m going
