Lyrics

Boozing
Cruising
Losing all track of time
I?ve been there
With no cares
But now I got better things on my mind
I?ve been poor and alone
But baby now I?m so grown
And this is my time to shine

Bar scenes
With prom queens
I?d rather wear blue jeans and feel old
But this place
And your face
Makes it hard for me to grow
I know you?ll take me as I am
But baby please understand
I gotta be a betterman

I don?t know where I will go tomorrow
And I don?t have any plans today
All I know is if I stay
My dreams will fade away

So hate me
Forsake me
But you can never break me deep inside
Just kiss me
Don?t miss me
Cuz baby our paths will soon collide
I know the distance might burn
But baby don?t be too concerned
A better man will return

I know the distance might burn
But baby don?t be too concerned
A better man will return
