Sittin' on the front porch in my old rocking chair
Watching the sun go down, feelin' the evening air
Thinking 'bout the dreams I had when I was just a boy
All the things I wanted to do, all the places I wanted to explore
Oh, those days seem so long ago
Feelin' like a lifetime away from where I used to roam
I had big plans and visions in my head
But life had other ideas instead
I thought about traveling, seeing new sights every day
But responsibilities came along and got in the way
I dreamed of falling in love under that big blue sky
But now it's just me and this ol' guitar saying goodbye
Oh, those days seem so long ago
Feelin' like a lifetime away from where I used to roam
I had big plans and visions in my head
But life had other ideas instead
The memories come flooding back as twilight falls
Of all those missed chances and untaken calls
Regrets are heavy on my heart tonight
As darkness creeps in without a single light
Now here I am with silver hair upon my head
Thinking 'bout all those dreams that are now dead
But maybe it's not too late for one last ride
To chase those dreams before time takes its stride
Oh, these days seem so far gone
Feels like an eternity passed since dawn
But who says an old man can't dream anew
To make up for lost time with skies of baby blue
So here's to dreaming again at any age
For wisdom comes not with limits but true sage
And though we may lose some along our path
There's always room for rebirth within our tattered craft.
