Lyrics
verse1
When I was young well I scraped my knee
Mamas there to care for me
And wipe away the hurt inside of me
A little older and it's rough at school
They're pickin' on me and I don't know why
Nobody cares about my life
Nobody cares about my life
chorus (x2)
There's the life that I want to lead
I can see it right in front of me
If I work hard and I keep my word
I can earn the life I deserve
verse2
Sorry Hon well I gotta go
I'm late for work and that's wrong you know
I won't be home, working late tonight
Missed you birthday and I know it's sad
but I'll earn a promotion I just gotta have
I'll make it up to you sometime
I'll make it up to you sometime
Chorus (x2)
verse3
Now I'm old and sick in bed
Ain't got very much time they said
Been thinking about my life
Everything that I just had to do
I Realize I should have spent my time with you
And what we need we have inside
final chorus
Where's the life that I used to have
It slipped through my fingers and it went so fast
If I could go back and do it all again
I'd cherish the time that I had
That's my life and it's almost gone
I hope you listen when I tell you son
Take time to smell the roses
If only the ones that you have
