JOHN MELLENCAMP - Longest Days lyrics

rate me

Seems like<br />

Once upon a time ago<br />

I was where<br />

I was supposed to be<br />

My vision was true<br />

And my heart was too<br />

There was no end<br />

To what I could dream<br />

I walked like a hero<br />

Into the setting sun<br />

Everyone called out my name<br />

Death to me was just a mystery<br />

I was too busy raising up Cain<br />

<br />

But nothing lasts forever<br />

Your best efforts<br />

Don't always pay<br />

Sometimes you get sick<br />

And don't get better<br />

That's when life is short<br />

Even in it's longest days<br />

<br />

So you pretend not to notice<br />

That everything has changed<br />

The way that you look<br />

And the friends you once had<br />

So you keep on acting the same<br />

But deep down in your soul<br />

You know you, you got no flame<br />

And who knows<br />

Then which way to go<br />

Life is short even<br />

In it's longest days<br />

<br />

All I got here<br />

Is a rear view mirror<br />

Reflections of where I've been<br />

So you tell yourself<br />

I'll be back up on top some day<br />

But you know there's nothing<br />

Waiting up there for you anyway<br />

<br />

Nothing lasts forever<br />

And your best efforts<br />

Don't always pay<br />

Sometimes you get sick<br />

And you don't get better<br />

That's when life is short<br />

Even in it's longest days<br />

<br />

Life is short<br />

Even in it's longest days</
