Lyrics
Lately I've been feeling like I'm getting older,
feeling bolder
like a veteran soldier
Of a time spent crooked in this love game coming strong
Living like a melody forever comin'
Guitar strummin'
Heart still pumpin'
Like a locomotive engine on a freight train way out west
Seen twenty-three summers and I'm dyin' just to see the rest
Deep inside the country there's a secret tune
That the stars only sing in the light of the moon
And every season there's a different one that echoes 'till the mornin' comes
Blessed be the trees that are forever showin'
Life keeps goin'
all things grow
And in the corners of the world there's other people dreamin' just like you
The answer's never hiding if you know just what to listen to
Le da te ta the years roll by like familiar songs
La da te ta we spend our days in search of where we came
In search of where we came
People like to say that everything means nothin'
Man thats somethin'
How is nothin'
The gift of every word and every thought you ever called your own
Me I like to say that everything means somethin'
Future's nothin'
Time keeps comin'
And the places that we go and all the people there are heaven sent
Still it's tough to keep in mind when you're workin' just to pay the rent
Le da te ta the years roll by like familiar songs
La da te ta we spend our days in search of where we came
In search of where we came
