[ Featuring Ian Musgrove ]
Way way back when i was a child
My dear mother said get out go be wild
She said son, its a great wide world
Don't settle young
But when i was seventeen
Thought that i knew everything
Emboldened i walked out that front door
Then i met a beauty queen
Young darlene just sweet sixteen
I thought for sure
She would be the one for me
Oh thirty years three kids and a job
Find she's sneakin' with neighbor bob
I hear my mothers voice
Callin me back home
Son she told me
You're too young
You need to wander
Go and discover
Find you some love yea
Cause you cant go back
So best to pick up the slack
Change your altitude
Cause there aint no goin back
Yea, don't regret the life
You livin in someday
There ain't no hot tub time machine
Cin't no cruisin round like james dean
Where you're going
Some quiet plot in your hometown
Cnd your kids have got their lives
Cll your sons have got their own wives
So you wonder
What else could i do?
Cnd you're feeling like a slob
Feeling choked out by your job
Yea and you wonder
What else could i have been
But like a bolt of stray lighting
You gasp and wake up from this bad dream
Cnd thank the good lord
Oh she said you're
You're too young
You need to wander
Go and discover
Find you some love yea
Cause you cant go back
So best to pick up the slack
Change your altitude
Cause there ain't no goin back
Oh she said
You're too young
You need to wander
Go and discover
Find you some love yea
Time hits like a thunder clap
Yea, like a heart attack
Surf this new wave dude
Cause you can not get it back
Yea
Pick your heels up
Lets get walkin
Cause ain't nobody gonna carry you
Don't let your dreams
Fall down by the wayside
Oh don't you know its all up to you
Lets get started right this moment
'fore i drop dead on the floor
Oh this life ain't nothing but a waking dream
Yea picture it you can do anything
It's never too late to live the life you want
