we struggle to remember we struggle to forget no strangers to addiction we re just drowning the pain good times with good friends good fights with enemies we ll struggle to remember but we can t forget every weekend was a party back in those days it didn t seem to matter that we were underage and the days go by and the days go by and the days go by and the days go have a shot and wash it down with another drink it did more damage at the time than we all could see and the days go by and the days go by and the days go by and the days go we struggle with surrender we struggle with regret no strangers to opinions just tired of the games broke ties with good friends broke bread with enemies we ll struggle to remember but we can t forget seven days a week on tour we re out getting pissed i need someone to fill me in on the things i missed and the weeks go by and the weeks go by and the weeks go by and the weeks go have a shot and wash it down with another drink on the road sometimes it s all that would help you sleep and the weeks go by and the weeks go by and the weeks go by and the weeks go young livers dying slowly through reckless days we ve come to accept but we re not dead yet young livers dying slowly through reckless days we ve come to accept when becoming men remember this some never live some never die but we re all here tonight not as many folks around anymore to see at least at weddings and at funerals we ll share a drink and the years go by and the years go by and the years go by and the years go have a shot and wash it down with another drink to tell the truth this shit is starting to make me sick and the years go by and the years go by and the years go by and the years go by
