Intro: DG/DBmGBmAGDG/D
DBm When you find you can somehow GD Make it like all the rest BmA You won't need to scrounge around for someone else GD Torn between the unknown GD And the place you call home F#mA And the life you want but have never known
D There was a time G/DBm You could put it out of your mind GBm And leave it all behind A There was a time GDG/D And that time is gone
What has life for 50 years In this town done for you Except to earn your name and place on a barstool You spend your whole life in this county You've never been out of state You say you're going to make it out before it's too late
There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone
DD/GBm There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense GBm Now that's turned more intense A And all the grudges you've kept around GDG/D Now are nowhere to be found

Remember when you didn't have To look ahead or behind you There was always something right there to do But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap Looking for a way out We keep moving on that's what it's all about
There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone
