Painted pictures and memories
Broken windows in front of me
Ash and remains of forgotten wood
Burning dust where chairs once stood
Saved belongings out on the lawn
Part of my life that now is gone
Running away from the many dangers
Slowing down to kiss a stranger
With history as any guide
You'll come along for the ride
You may not know it, but I'm here to show it
This life's a wild ride
Making friends out of enemies
Abandoning your family
Stealing money and buying love
Who you were you're disposing of
Loyalty is a forgotten word
Well let me tell you if you haven't heard
Try as you might, but you will fail
Happiness is a fairy tail
With history as any guide
You'll come along for the ride
You may not know it, but I'm here to show it
This life's a wild ride
