Longest Days - John Mellencamp
Seems like Once upon a time ago I was where I was supposed to be My vision was true And my heart was too There was no end To what I could dream I walked like a hero Into the setting sun Everyone called out my name Death to me was just a mystery I was too busy raising up Cain But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts Don't always pay Sometimes you get sick And don't get better That's when life is short Even in it's longest days So you pretend not to notice That everything has changed The way that you look And the friends you once had So you keep on acting the same But deep down in your soul You know you, you got no flame And who knows Then which way to go Life is short even In it's longest days All I got here Is a rear view mirror Reflections of where I've been So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day But you know there's nothing Waiting up there for you anyway Nothing lasts forever And your best efforts Don't always pay Sometimes you get sick And you don't get better That's when life is short Even in it's longest days Life is short Even in it's longest days
