Oaks Bentley - Life After Youth Lyrics

I'm my own man
I'm no robot
I'm no mix of bolts and screws
So when you try to tell me
This world is so course and cold
And there's nothing we can do

Remember when we were kids
And didn't have a care in the world
Everything seemed so pure
Where has that all gone now
Can we finally get it back somehow
Used to run around and play silly games
Never had our eye on fortune or fame
Showed interest in the little things
Never were we clipped of our wings

When you're young you just wanna grow up
And live life just like your father
But now there's bills to pay
And everything you know
Is just changing
Far too quickly

Remember when we were kids
And didn't have a care in the world
Everything seemed so pure
Where has that all gone now
Can we finally get it back somehow
Used to run around and play silly games
Never had our eye on fortune or fame
Showed interest in the little things
Never were we clipped of our wings

So put away your toys and trucks
It's time to make a couple bucks
Why must we live this way
You tell me that the future's now
I need to stop fooling around
Why'd you take my life from me
It's the only thing that I had left
