LYRICS
V1
I'm seventeen on a back porch swing
thinking of all I ain't ever seen
like New York City or Paris in the spring
This small town is all I've known
never found myself too far from home
or dont much at all outside the ol' routine
There's only so much a man can fit into his life
but when it's time to look back
I'll know I did it right
CH
I wanna feel the wind of a Chicago night
fall asleep on a red-eye flight
see the seven wonders of the world
forget that life sometimes ain't fair
just roll the dice and say a prayer
look at things from a different point of view
there's one thing that I know to be true
I've still got a lot of livin' left to do.
V2
I'm 30 now, got a wife and kids
my part life just hit the skids
I tried to live, but life got in the way
I've yet to feel Seattle rain
or sip from a glass of fine champagne
but I'll get to it one of these days
There's only so much time before the clock starts tickin' fast
I wanna throw away old broken dreams and make the good times last
BRIDGE
Add up all my yesterdays, it's still so plain to see
It doesn't matter where you are.. just who you're meant to be.
V3
I'm 85 and gettin' by.. those dreams I had have never died
it took a little while to realize..
that although I haven't seen the world, I've raised the two most beautiful girls
but for me, the doctors say there's not much they can do.
I'm no where close to being through..
there's still one thing left I know is true
oh, I've got a lot of livin'.. left to do.
I've still got a lot of livin' left to do.
OUTRO
I'm seventeen on a back porch swing, thinkin' of all I ain't ever seen.
