The Oak Ridge Boys - Seasons lyrics

I remember when I couldn't wait To drive a car and stay out late, uh huh I watched my body stretch and groan And wonder why it took so long, uh huh I wished that I could grab the hands of time And turn into a man and leave that little boy behind By the time that I'd turned twenty I longed for that simple state of mind The teachers turned to bosses And the money barely paid the rent, uh huh The only ones that had it made Were the older dudes that paid their way, uh huh I wished that I could grab the hands of time And turn a ten year plan into an overnight success By the time that I'd turned thirty I realized how little time was left The seasons of your life Don't let them pa** you by For as the years unwind You only get one at a time Seasons ever changing ever fleeting It's a rhythm with a reason The seasons of your life We're always wanting something else Each day I have to tell myself, uh uh, uh uh I ain't gonna bait that trap I've wasted too much time on that, uh huh, uh huh I'm satisfied to watch the hands Turn slowly as they can Live my life day by day And if I reach a hundred I'll make up for the time I threw away
