lyrics

A LIFE IS A SHORT TIME

The world brought me to this faded street
Where the colors go brown
But all my life is a short time, somehow
Got a degree, it came easy
The sun burnished my black gown
But all my life is a short time, somehow
Got a life, a kid, and a wife
My fortune seemed to be comin’ around
But still my life felt like a short time, somehow
Happiness was bought and sold, baby got old
But she never ceases to astound
Her life will be such a short time, anyhow
The air gets colder
We get older
The lump builds in your throat
It’s seems like there’s less and less to lose
But, above all things, it seems like you can always have hope
I bought a truck, I sold the house
And headed for the Sound
I thought to myself, it’s such a short life, anyhow
I’ve got some questions
And some suggestions
Maybe if I was pope
I could look straight into the sun
And swear, with all my soul, that I should have hope
So come on, child
Live free and wild
And never back down
‘Cause you find some day it was a short time, anyhow
