25 Years
Lyricist:Jason Blynn, Peter Harper, David Martin Kahne
If I went home tomorrow I would be obliged to borrow A thousand little things I do not need
My folks, they know me well But surely they'd begin to tell I love them but their words I do not heed
I read the books then I burned the pages Found the birds screaming in their cages Where are the young voices of all ages? I would die to hear them sing
You don't have to go the lonely way That directs your heart with sorrow And leads your mind in disarray Don't pretend that you don't know 25 years and nothing to show
People from my town They stop to look me up and down Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And say how marvelous it must be
They lament the lack of money And cackle about some sweet, young honey The one they're sure is chasing after me
Then I see the change come into their faces They say, 'I wish I knew such splendid places' But life's become a string of whiffs and traces And in my head I hear them sing
You don't have to go the lonely way That directs your heart with sorrow And leads your mind in disarray Don't pretend that you don't know 25 years and nothing to show
You don't have to go the lonely way But you go there anyway You don't have to go the lonely way, no
