One More Moment in the Sun

Sitting at a table at the Silver Star
Watching the patreons line up at the bar
Drinking ice cold beer
Recounting the bygone years
Bob said he can't remember much
All the times we tore up
That hometown scene
Them days were wild and mean
Jake came in and bought a round
Pulled up a chair and settled down
Asked how things had been
It's good to see your friends
Then Joe started talking 'bout the football team
All of the people that we ain't seen
And how time has passed
Sure funny now looking back

When we were young, we longed to be older
Now we're old and we long to be young
We tore a path to steal the thunder
In the fast lane and always on the run
And our dreams, they seem much bolder
'Cause our lives had only just begun
What I'd give to go back again
For one more moment in the sun

Works getting tough out at the mine
Layoffs are coming now anytime
It's taken its toll
On everybody I know
Seems life was simple when we were kids
Never thought we'd live to see the bad times hit
Now walls are closing in
Seems you just can't win
Used to be you could earn enough
To support a family, pay off your truck
On your own home
It seems those times are gone
I got to thinking how things have changed
The cost of living compared to what we make
The price is high
When it comes to getting by

When we were young we long to be older
Now we're old and we long to be young
We tore a path to steal the thunder
In the fast lane and always on the run
And our dreams, they seem much bolder
'Cause our lives had only just begun
What I'd give to go back again
For one more moment in the sun

And our dreams, they seem much bolder
'Cause our lives had only just begun
What I'd give to go back again
For one more moment in the sun
