Life is a Short Ride
I was on my way to Mobile
Stopped in for some gas
Swiped my card and turned around - saw an old friend from the past
He said, 'man, I can't believe it!' - I said, 'how the hell you been?'
And almost in an instant
We were right back there again
The senior trip, the Vegas Strip - man, we used to be so close
As we laughed and talked, I smiled and thought
'Ain't it funny how life goes'
One day you're 17 and life seems like it's standing still
But it's a spinning wheel
Turnin' from 17 to 30 in a blink of an eye
Like miles passing by
Life is a short ride
I took out my cell phone
Showed him pictures of my wife
He had one of his little girl - I said, 'man, she's got your eyes'
We sat in his Outback
Drank a couple beers
Hitting every highlight, we sped right through the years
The passing time like little white lines, quickly rushing past
As we said goodbye I realized
It all goes by so fast
One day you're 17 and life seems like it's standing still
But it's a spinning wheel
Turnin' from 17 to 30 in a blink of an eye
Like miles passing by
Life is a short ride
As I pulled back on the freeway
I saw that highway 40 sign
And thought - 'won't be no time at all
Till I cross that line'
One day you're 17 and life seems like it's standing still
But it's a spinning wheel
Turnin' from 17 to 30 in a blink of an eye
Like miles passing by
Life is a short ride
Life is a short ride
I was on my way to Mobile
Stopped in for some gas
Swiped my card and turned around - saw an old friend from the past
Stopped in for some gas
Swiped my card and turned around - saw an old friend from the past
He said, 'man, I can't believe it!' - I said, 'how the hell you been?'

Life is a short ride

Stopped in for some gas
Swiped my card and turned around - saw an old friend from the past
