Rossington Collins Band - Gonna Miss It When It's Gone lyrics

When I was five and mama took me to school I felt like she was trying to steal the freedom of my sunny days Ooh, I felt like I was dyin' But at 18 when it was time to leave The world seemed so uncertain I realized just how good the times had been I saw the tables turnin', yes I did Well, the gra** is always greener on the other side of the road You may not like the way things are going But you may miss them when they're gone I was so young when love first came to me Ooh, I gave my heart away so easily But just as quickly as love came, it was gone I thought that I was wounded permanently But wonder of wonders, somehow I survived And my true love found me I looked back on the days when I had cried I knew that I had cried needlessly Time waits for no one, it's too precious to be wastin' Once it's gone you can't relive it You gotta make the most of every day It may be gone before you know it The gra** is always greener on the other side of the road You may not like the way things are going But you may miss them when they're gone Oh don't you know the gra** is always greener on the other side of the road? And you may not like the way things are going But you may miss them when they're gone Aw, think about it
