Lyrics

whenever life shoved us along
whenever things went wrong
we'd come up with a better song

whenever we drove our funky cars
whenever we played those smokey bars
looking out for our lucky star

all the roads that we went down
bar to bar & town to town
cheap motels & fast food chains
through winter storms & summer rains

every year the keys get higher
I once heard someone say
listen to the groove of the studded tires
as we closed it down on another day

me & the band were keeping dreams alive
saying goodbyes to our children & wives for so long
me & the band just trying to survive
when whiskers go white & the future's not so bright
is it wrong to keep trying?

someone once said long ago
the heart has its reasons
that reason cannot know

as we counted down all the years
like we counted off the tunes
and then packed it up under crescent moons
