[00:14.65]If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days

[00:26.32]Got in my way
[00:27.95]Oh No
[00:30.38]Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[00:36.18]And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends

[00:44.74]Till their music set me on fire

[02:01.44]You can linger too long in your dreams
[02:05.68]Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[02:11.31]Cause the good ole days weren't always good
[02:16.24]And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[02:18.36]Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:21.17]Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O K
