I woke up to my world this morning
|
Took a long look in the looking glass
|
Last night I guess I had one or too many
|
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class
|
|
What ever happened to me
|
Maybe I've been living on lies
|
Never really had a dream come true
|
Then again I guess I never really tried
|
|
|
Now the years all slip away
|
And things are like they're gonna stay
|
All the roads I didn't take are just
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
Taking space and time
|
|
|
Wish I'd finished that book I never started
|
Maybe that's the story of my life
|
Should've learned to play that saxophone
|
So I could tell my song to the streetlight
|
|
|
Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own
|
Could've had a wife and a child
|
Should've made that house a home
|
I don't know why my life is so wild
|
|
|
Now the years all slip away
|
And things are like they're gonna stay
|
All the chances I didn't take are just
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
Taking space and time
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
|
|
So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight
|
I've got to get my shadow behind me
|
Try and make some sense of it all
|
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free
|
|
|
As the years will slip away
|
I'll let the cards fall where they may
|
And all the roads I didn't take will be just
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
|
|
As the years will slip away
|
And the cards fall as they may
|
All the chances I didn't take will be just
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
Taking space and time
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
One more thing in the back of my mind
|
