Lyrics
I know an old man who's fond of forgotten lore
He'll sit and talk all day about the days he's seen before
He tells us the stories of years gone by and the chronicles of times that he'll neverf forget
But I know the blank stare in his eyes, that man is full of regret
He said to me, "Son, get out of this place, there's a whole wide world yet to see.
I tell tales to relive my grace and take a good look at me."
Well I wiped the tired tear from his eye and I said, "That's very nice.
But I'll never sit next to you and cry, no, you won't have to tell me twice!"
(refrain)
Don't live in the past
And don't live for the future
Go out, have a blast
You must fulfill that vow
Don't live in the past
And don't live for the future
Go out, have a blast
Come out and take your bow
Live in the now
I know a young lady who never has any fun
That girl's always making plans to do the things that she's never done.
The numbers in her bank book are high, and her investments are all long term
But I know everytime she gives a sigh that her hear does truly yearn
"It's best to make it in the long run," she always used to say
"You should have more patience my son. Don't worry, you'll have your day."
Well, I said, "I know your possition well, and most people think you're right.
But I'm not waiting for the mission bell, no, I want it all tonight!"
(refrain 2x)
