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 on a pearl
And if time flows like the river
Then I’m a puddle standing still

This road has been long
Hell who ain’t got a past
Those things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I’ve been around enough to know
What’s gone ain’t coming back
So I live with my demons
But 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 you don’t know where you goin’
You end where you don’t wanna be

This road has been long
Hell who ain’t got a past
Those things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I’ve been around enough to know
What’s gone ain’t coming back
So I live with my demons
But 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

This road has been long
But hell who ain’t got a past
Those things I wish had left me behind
Sometimes you just lose track
I’ve been around enough to know
What’s gone ain’t coming back
So I live with my demons
But I ain’t running from the reason
