Lyrics
Time Flys by, in the blink of an eye
When you get paid for havin too much fun
Kickin out the footlights
Livin the night life
Like tomorrow aint never gonna come
Wouldn't change much of nothin
About this road we've been runnin
For the wild times, wild women, and a song
But we'd ah taken much better
care of ourselves
if we'd ah known, we was gonna live this long
Whiskey goes down like cold spring water
over rocks at the close of the day
an when your flyin like eagles down American Highways
you lose alot of friends along the way
but we just keep on movin and rolling long
can't look back
we might turn to stone
but we'd ah taken much better care of ourselves
if we'd ah known, we was gonna live this long
If we known we's gonna live this long
we'd might ah changed things up a bit
we'd still would'a lived out every song
just maybe not quite as fast as we did
but we're in pretty good shape Will
for the shape we're in
we'll keep rockin along until we're gone
We'd ah taken much better care of ourselves
if we'da known we was gonna live this long
We'd ah taken much better care of ourselves
if we'da known we was gonna live this long
END
