Reasons
Boy ain't it somethin when
You're green behind the ears
Your hands are free and you can't yet see
The weight of all your years
The world is just an Oyster
And it's working in a pearl
If time flows like the river
Then I'm a puddle standing still
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
A million miles away
From the boy of yesterday
Not quite the man he thought he'd be
Sittin here old and grey
Life has a funny way
Of letting you take the lead
If ya don't know where ya goin
You end where you don't wanna be
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
Maybe it's never too late
To dig down deep and find a child like faith
With eyes on today
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
You're green behind the ears
Your hands are free and you can't yet see
The weight of all your years
The world is just an Oyster
And it's working in a pearl
If time flows like the river
Then I'm a puddle standing still
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
A million miles away
From the boy of yesterday
Not quite the man he thought he'd be
Sittin here old and grey
Life has a funny way
Of letting you take the lead
If ya don't know where ya goin
You end where you don't wanna be
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
Maybe it's never too late
To dig down deep and find a child like faith
With eyes on today
The road has been long
Hell who ain't got a past
Things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I been around enough to know
What's gone ain't coming back
So I live with my demons
And I ain't running from the reason
