back in the day...

oh, it wasn't that far.

not a day goes by that won't be in the back tomorrow.

take today as a sample to you.

it looks cloudy outside,

what are you gonna do

well, we could get up

or we could get on down

we could drive to the country or head downtown,

maybe i'll join you too

we could have been so much better off than before

if we held on true



take today, and go walk for a while

well just sit back jack and relax and enjoy a smile

well let your mind go...

for a minute or two,

let your mind levitate for a delicate few.



we could have been so much better off than before

if we held on true



i said but lately i've been feeling mighty old

i said the sun has got me cracked and this wind has got me cold

and i'm so damn tired of losing my friends

every single time i go and lose my ends

i say but that's okay, i'm on my way

and in awhile when i realize there's something new

but until then i got to hold on true...
