When I was young I'd hear my parents say
'These years that pass get shorter every day'
I just wanted to be, 'all grown up'
Never knew it'd come round soon enough
My brother Joe driving his first car
Dating girls, and hanging out in bars
From where I stood, it looked like, every kind of cool
Now I long to be back there in school
Can't take it back, can't start again
No peaking 'round the last bend
Know that time is moving fast
And write a story that will last
You gotta play nice
You better be kind
Cause life ain't got no rewind
Got out of school and started work next day
Bought a beat up car with my first pay
Joe grow up, got married, now he's settled down
Ain't that the way this life goes round?
Can't take it back, can't start again
No peaking 'round the last bend
Know that time is moving fast
And write a story that will last
You gotta play nice
You better be kind
Cause life ain't got no rewind
Live in the moment, live for today
Enjoy the journey take your time
When you're sitting on your front porch
Thinking of the years gone by
Let memories remind you how to fly
Can't take it back, can't start again
No peaking 'round the last bend
Know that time is moving fast
And write a story that will last
You gotta play nice
You better be kind
Cause life ain't got no rewind, yea!
Cause life ain't got no rewind
