Lyrics

Life is like an old dirt road
With twists and turns and rocks and stones
You never know what’s up around the bend
As the sand runs through the hourglass
A voice comes calling up from the past
Hello memory, I’m your childhood friend

It’s been a long, long time
Since your path has crossed with mine
Have you felt the rain and tamed the restless wind?
Yeah yeah - na na na na na

Sometimes, boy, we’d sit and dream
The focus of our plans and schemes
Guitars, rocket ships and pretty girls
Looks like I let the first one slip
I never built that rocket ship
But, I found a love that’s brightened up my world

You said you joined up with a band
Turned out to be a music man
And you’ve kept alive your promise to the plan

Have you ever climbed that mountain
Have you ever sailed that sea
Did you ever write a love song
Have you wondered about me
Thirty years have faded most of my childhood memories
But I still recall the friends we used to be
I still recall the friends we used to be
na na na na na

When I saw that picture of your wife
With that smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye
I knew that there was one dream left to live
Hold tight the hands that hold the heart
Share the dream and you’ll never part
And give them all the love we have to give

It’s been a long, long time
Since your path had crossed with mine
You took a wild, wild ride and tamed the restless wind

Have you ever climbed that mountain
Have you ever sailed that sea
Did you ever write a love song
Have you wondered about me
Thirty years have faded most of my childhood memories
But I still recall the friends we used to be
I still recall the friends we used to be
na na na na na

We may not have much time to spend
Someday we’ll reach the journey’s end
The crossroad up ahead, the past behind

But when we look back on our lives
We’ll thank the good Lord for our wives
The love we have for them will shine, boy, shine

Have you ever climbed that mountain
Have you ever sailed that sea
Did you ever write a love song
Have you wondered about me
Thirty years have faded most of my childhood memories
But I still recall the friends we used to be
I still recall the friends we used to be
But I still recall the friends we used to be
I still recall the friends we used to be
