Time keeps rollin', rollin' I keep hopin', hopin' I got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is
Take me back to ridin' bikes around the cul-de-sac
And jumpin' over sidewalk cracks with my brother after school
Dreams we had, never knew we would grow up so fast
And summers underneath the sun don't last, even if you want to
Then suddenly I woke up one day, lookin' more like my dad
The world don't seem so big no more, and I gotta face the facts
Time keeps rollin', rollin' I keep hopin', hopin' I got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is
Time ain't waitin', waitin' I keep prayin', prayin' I make the most of mine
And live my life before I run out of
Take me back to the river by the railroad tracks
In the backseat of that Pontiac, learnin' how to fall in love
Oh, the harder you try, you just can't slow it down
Cause the days turn to nights, now the year goes around
And you laugh and you cry, people change and they die
And it all leads to now
Funny when you think about
Time keeps rollin', rollin' I keep hopin', hopin' I got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is
Time ain't waitin', waitin' I keep prayin', prayin' I make the most of mine
And live my life before I run out of
Time
Time
Time
And suddenly I woke up one day looking more like my dad
If he were here, I bet he'd tell you
The only thing you can't get back is
Time
Time
Time
