Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pourin' rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' our dreams, oh, you on top
My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens livin' life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way, and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time
You're livin' our dreams, oh, you on top
My mind is achin' Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens livin' life by the drop
No wasted time, we're alive today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Time's been between us, a means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend
Livin' our dreams
My mind's stoped achin'
That's how it happens livin' life by the drop
