Hearing stories run through my mind
Write em down, don't waste no time
Grab my axe grab my paper
Won't let em' fade, don't be a waster
I see the letters form all my words
I see the notes make my melodies
All these stories they need to be told
Leave nothing out, out in the cold
Don't wanna live in yesterday
Where the world lost all sight
Simple time when all was right
Is all I know when the music plays
Been on great highs
Seen the great lows
It's a matter of time
Everyone knows
Share my tale for the world to know
A lesson learned I reap what I sow
Telling lies will always hurt
So throw my bones right into dirt
Don't wanna live in yesterday
Where the world lost all sight
Simple time when all was right
Is all I know when the music plays
Don't wanna live in yesterday
Where the world lost all sight
Simple time when all was right
Is all I know when the music plays
Been on great highs
Seen the great lows
It's a matter of time
Everyone knows
