There Was A Time
There was a time when I thought I would make it
& there was a time when I thought that I knew
But now I find that that same old used-to-be
Is gone & there ain't no easy road
There was a time long ago, do you remember?
We used to have so much fun, so much fun
But now I find that those good ol' days are gone
Oh no there ain't no easy way
(x2):
Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life
They're only faded memories
There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another day in my life
Oh no there ain't no easy road
