when you find you can somehow make it like all the rest you won t need to scrounge around for someone else torn between the unknown and the place that you call home and the life you want but have never known there was a time you could put it out your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone mister tell me fifty years in this town s done for you except to earn your name and place on a bar stool you spent your whole life in this county you ve never been out of state you say you re gonna make it out before it s too late there was a time you could put it out your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone there was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense now that s turned more intense and all the crutches you kept around now are nowhere to be found remember when you didn t have to look ahead or behind you there was always something right there to do but now it s life in some kind of trap looking for a way out we keep moving on that s what it s all about  there was a time you could put it out your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone
