Wishful thinking won't amount to living As a selfless person, or the honest guy Week day drinking, a workplace demeaning Every good intention for a family life Remembering jobs, years lost as a father Never learned how to speak up or say stop right now Yesterday yearning, memories blurring He tries to recapture it on the line Time is ticking, years are pa**ing Faster and faster right before his eyes Remembering jobs, years lost as a father Never learned how to speak up or have it stop With his children gone he sings this song So long to good times Bring on the goodbyes
