"Back in the day"
Oh, it wasn't that far
Not a day goes by that won't be in the back tomorrow
Take today as a sample to you
It looks cloudy outside,
What are you gonna do?
Well, we could get up
Or we could get on down
We could drive to the country or head downtown,
Maybe I'll join you too

We could have been so much better off than before
If we held on true

Take today, and go walk for a while
Well just sit back Jack and relax and enjoy a smile
Well let your mind go
For a minute or two,
Let your mind levitate for a delicate few
Maybe I'll join you too

We could have been so much better off than before
If we held on true

I said but lately I've been feeling mighty old
I said the Sun has got me cracked this wind has got me cold
And I'm so damn tired of losing my friends
Every single time I go and lose my ends
I say but that's okay, I'm on my way
I don't appear near, but maybe I'll end up that way
And in awhile when I realize there's something new
But until then I got to hold on true
