lyrics

"I used to be a hot shot..."
an old truck passes by on the road outside,
"...but I never found the right girl,
now my belly grew round, my hair turned gray
and my old lady left me last year
somehow I never really did fit in - but I had to, you know, times were different back then,
it's funny, by the time you got it all figured out,
there are only a few more laps to go
and it feels good and right
to cruise the last miles in second gear to enjoy the sight"

"but guess what, these days are good to me,
they gave me time to think,
now I found my peace and I know,
it could have been worse, slightly better,
man, what would have happened,
if we knew then what we know now,
maybe we would have gone nuts,
maybe we just changed the world,
maybe I drank too much"

so they sit there while the evening sun paints the sky red,
tomorrow will be a hot day.
