Years from Now

Years from now, we'll all be a little weathered and gray
Not much different than the stools we're sittin' on
We'll laugh about the hard times and relive the glory days
And wonder where the hell the time has gone

And we keep it moving constantly
Like it's got some place to be
And it leaves you in its shadow like a dusty memory
Keep you wondering what it's all about
And give you the answers years from now

Years from now, I'll be brushing through my salt and pepper hair
As I comb through all of our memories
And you're laughing in the sunshine drinkin' like you're on a dare
And your green eyes cut through the loudness of the street

And we keep it moving constantly
Like we got some place to be
Time leaves you in its shadow like a dusty memory
Keep you wondering what it's all about
And give you the answers years from now
Alright

Years from now, I'll fall asleep and pray I don't wake up in the grave
Somewhere on the other side of outer space
And feel the gold beneath my feet and place my hand on pearly gates
In a place free from time and gravity
And former homeland insecurities
Then I'll know what love is all about
I don't hope soon, but some time years from now
Years from now
