When you find you cant somehow Make it like all the rest You wont need to scrounge around for someone else Torn between the unknown And the place that you call home And the life you want but have never known There was a time You could put it out of your mind Leave it all behind There was a time That time is gone What has life for fifty years In this town done for you Except to earn your name and place on a barstool? You spent your whole life in this county Youve never been out of state You say, youre gonna make it out before its too late There was a time You could put it out of your mind Leave it all behind There was a time That time is gone There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense Thats turned more intense And all the crutches youve kept around Now are nowhere to be found Remember when you didnt have To look ahead or behind you There was always something right there to do But now its life in some kind Of trap looking for a way out Well, you keep moving on, thats what its all about There was a time You could put it out of your mind Leave it all behind There was a time That time is gone
