How our life would be If you had made it, from Elmira to Kansas City But instead you cried the whole way Punching the wheel home And I forget his name But like Billy said You can't be everything you want to be Before your time
So slow it down, cause everyone will wait for you There's no fire, just the heat where the sweat never leaves You never fully dry out So stand still, the air will move and wash over you And almost cool you off Like you said, what the hell is the rush? Well you, you're one to talk
Gone a little too soon But I know you hated being late And I guess you were right, right on time
And I'm still here Still on this side of the grass Lately I'm feeling halfway there And that's a long time For late lives and separate failures And not much to show but a lack of passion And I know I drove myself to this
But I think you already know I think you already heard, at least I hope
How our life would be If you had made it, from Elmira to Kansas City And in the end, that's as good as it gets, man And like you said, that's as good as it gets, man
