Well I'm sitting down at this bar staring at this beer
One, two, three, four decades gone don't know how I got here
Three great kids later, I'm worried about their life
Makes me kind of crazy, lots of sleepless nights
It wasn't that long ago we walked up/down that hill
Each and every morning to catch a bus for school
Old man Swanson he let those bullets fly
Across the big blue Arco station we used to stroll on by
And do you remember when Rose Dinkins struck out east
Everything had changed when she killed Schrott and Connelly
Four short decades
Where did all those years go
Making it through one day at a time
The only way we know
Time flies fast...
Like the sand in a big old hourglass
Time flies fast and that you know, it's gonna kick you in the
ass
And all of us got real scared
When my good mamma died
I want to thank you all for all your help
I made it through that night
We all thought that we were cool
Yet we couldn't get a date
All them girls were so stuck up
But we all believed in fate |
Remember when we drove
Drove all night long
To Wildwood deep down New Jersey
Just a singing those Kiss songs
One, two, three, four short decades
Where did all those years go
Making it through one day at a time
The only way we know
Time flies fast...like the sand in a big old hourglass
Time flies and that you know
It's gonna kick you in the ass
Ya been to Frankstown Road
Well they destroyed our home
Where we were born
It's all gone
Ain't no more man
These days we're a little grayer
And a whole lot more wide
Maybe a little smarter
Certainly not wise
And I better finish this here beer
And head on down to my home
One, two, three, four decades gone
But I know where I belong |
