Lyrics

When I was your age
She was a two-tone white and baby blue
Step-side Ford, for twenty-two and change
And I knew once I could get those keys and make her mine
My new life would start up like that ol’ blue 302
 
And then I’d ride off in the sunset
And all my dreams will have come true
With all my troubles gone
I’d be set from that point on
No I couldn’t wait, until then
It was just around the bend
 
Then I met your mama
And I sold that truck to buy a ring
Knew I would give her anything
And then she gave me you
But It wasn’t easy
All those sleepless nights and overtime
Once I could find work that paid right
I’d spend all my time with you
 
And we’d all ride off in the sunset
And all our dreams will have come true
With all our troubles gone
We’d be set from that point on
No I couldn’t wait, until then
It was just around the bend
 
You got your eyes on that horizon
I used to hear it call my name
But life ain’t waiting for you on the other side
No son, it’s the ride
 
So when you ride off toward that sunset
I hope your dreams they all come true
But when those troubles come
Don’t you hurry, don’t you run
'cause life is just the moments that we get
Getting around the bend
Getting around the bend
