Was a time we'd ride our bikes.
When the sun went down we'd catch fireflies
Little glass jars we would fill with light
Those were the wonder years
Truth be told there were also fears
Harmless games would lead to tears
It's hard, the lessons we learn
Going down the road of life
You get what you get and you don't get upset
No shoulda woulda couldas
On the back porch steps
One step forward not two steps back
You'll get down the road of life
You get knocked down you can sit in the dirt
You can catch your breath if your really hurt
But take my advice for what it's worth
Get back on the road of life
Get back on the road of life
Was a time we knew it all
When we stood on mountains we'd never fall
Made our choices not thinking twice
Those were the glory days
Now we've grown and we've come to know
The right choice isn't always so
It's hard, the lessons we learn
Going down the road of life
Without life's lessons I'd never have learned
Slamming screen doors won't get you heard
Sometimes shht just comes along
Wake up to another day
Knowing life can go astray
Now I'm beginning to understand
You get what you get and you don't get upset
No shoulda woulda couldas
On the back porch steps
One step forward not two steps back
You'll get down the road of life
Get down the road of life
Get back on the road of life
