[ Featuring the Notorious Tellers ]
He looks in the mirror with total surprise
Where once stood a young man, there's age in those eyes
His hands held before him were steady and strong
And the things he once dreamt are now faded and gone
Where'd the time go, seems just yesterday
He was dancing and drinking, living his way
His dreams as a drifter, a solitary man
Turned to husband and father, a house and a van
I'll paint a picture I can't draw you a map
Watch your step son don't lose track
Life will pass by and it goes so fast
When you're looking back
Yes, once he though life would be singing in bars
Life on the road, pretty women, fast cars
Big fancy house, and a gal in the sack
Living the fast life and not looking back
Instead it was carpools, groceries and bills
Tricycles, bicycles, sliding down hills
Meals round the table and stories at night
Big sloppy kisses and tuck me in tight
I'll paint a picture I can't draw you a map
Watch your step son don't lose track
Life will pass by and it goes so fast
When you're looking back
He sits in his rocker and ponders the days
His children have all grown up and all moved away
His pretty wife Lissa tries work'n the ground
And his pals have all aged and stopped come'en around
He looks in the mirror with total surprise
A grin on his face and a spark in his eyes
His life didn't turn out the way that he had seen
But he was love'n and laugh'n and living his dream
Round round how it comes round
Down down how it goes down
Round round how it comes round
Down down how it goes down
