For Love Of The Game movie - Reelin' In The Years lyrics

rate me

Song by Steely Dan<br /><br>

Your everlasting summer <br>

You can see it fading fast <br>

So you grab a piece of something <br>

That you think is gonna last <br>

You wouldn't know a diamond <br>

If you held it in your hand <br>

The things you think are precious <br>

I can't understand <br>

<br>

CHORUS: <br>

Are you reelin' in the years <br>

Stowin' away the time <br>

Are you gatherin' up the tears <br>

Have you had enough of mine <br>

<br>

You been tellin' me you're a genius <br>

Since you were seventeen <br>

In all the time I've known you <br>

I still don't know what you mean <br>

The weekend at the college <br>

Didn't turn out like you planned <br>

The things that pass for knowledge <br>

I can't understand <br>

<br>

CHORUS <br>

<br>

I spend a lot of money <br>

And I spent a lot of time <br>

The trip we made in Hollywood <br>

Is etched upon my mind <br>

After all the things we've done and seen <br>

You find another man <br>

The things you think are useless <br>

I can't understand <br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>
