Lyrics (paste this entire block):

Yeah, it hits me sometimes, how damn fast it goes

Life’s one wild ride, man, you know?

Time slipped through my fingers, now I see these lines on my face

Kids are grown with kids of their own, took up all my days

Where’d my wild youth run off to, those crazy Friday nights?

Now I’m watchin’ my whole story play out in these city lights

Went from timber cuts to tech jobs, dirt roads to concrete streets

Never figured I’d wake up and not recognize the man I see

This life keeps rollin’ faster than a freight train on the tracks

I’m holdin’ tight to memories, wish I could feel ‘em comin’ back

It’s kinda crazy how my whole world’s changed

Gettin’ older, tellin’ stories I’ve told a hundred times

Kids have kids now, and I wonder where my river’s gone

But I’m still singin’ my song, carryin’ on, yeah I keep on

Old songs on the radio spark flashbacks in my head

Rusty pickups in the yard, black coffee and goodbyes instead

Neighbors still jaw about the good ol’ days back home

While I’m sittin’ here wonderin’ where my wild years have gone

From sunup to sundown, I’ve been livin’ my truth best I can

But sometimes I ask myself, what’d I miss, what’s left in my hands?

Time just slides away like sand runnin’ through my fist

Gotta cherish every minute, try to make some sense of it

It’s kinda crazy how my whole world’s changed

Gettin’ older, tellin’ stories I’ve told a hundred times

Kids have kids now, and I wonder where my river’s gone

But I’m still singin’ my song, carryin’ on, yeah I keep on

So here’s to the days we’ll never forget

The past and the present, headin’ toward that last sunset

A little country soul, a little city grind

Holdin’ onto love and the good Lord’s sweet design

Yeah it’s crazy how the days fly by, but I’m still right here

Heart wide open, got nothin’ left to fear

Life’s a wild ol’ song, and I’m damn glad I belong

To the melody, to the love, to this lifelong song
