You've been working a hard life, you got so far I looked up at you
And all that mattered was family, a house, a car, I guess I look just like you
You had your troubles, you stood with pride
Down the road we walked together, you taught me how to fight
You had opinions, they weren't mine
But what can you do?
Everybody calling on you day and night
Never a problem, it was just allright
But time slides away on you now
I'm much easier on you now
There ain't much later, but we can try somehow
You never knew love, but you learned to live
For the ones you love, to the ones you give
But try to let some light, between what you think is right, it's all up to you
Peace should come upon you when you've buried the past
And if you believe you better make it fast
Cause time slides away on you now, but it's much easier on you now
There ain't much later, but we can try somehow
And we can keep it strong, until our days are gone
And I will stand by you, until our days are through
And we will keep it goin', until our days they've gone
Way back, the days we've known
