There's a new face up on the stage tonight
A new star on the door
A new name on the billboard now
Where mine had been before
There's a new song in their hearts tonight
A new light in their eyes
A new and haunting melody
That's got them hypnotized
I know time and tide keep marching on
Here today and then you're gone
I did it all from the honky tonk to Carnegie Hall
From Tokyo to Texas came the call
Every mile's a memory that's burned into my soul
So, no matter what tomorrow brings
No matter what song the new star sings
I never will forget, I did it all
I got to ride a million dreams
The star of, oh, so many scenes
I played the game and made my name
I thought it couldn't end
I gave my life for my success
Gave a little too much I guess
'Cause all that's left is emptiness
What happened to my friends?
I know time and tide keep marching on
Here today and then you're gone
I did it all from the honky tonk to Carnegie Hall
From Tokyo to Texas came the call
Every mile's a memory that's burned into my soul
So, no matter what tomorrow brings
No matter what song the new star sings
I never will forget, I did it all
I did it all from north to south and all points in between
But from Hollywood to heartbreak takes no time
But that was way back when and I must face tomorrow now
To if you ask me how I am today
I can turn to you in truth and say
I did it all and now at last I'm doing fine
I did it all and now at last I'm doing fine
I did it all and now at last I'm doing fine
