lyrics

‘Strummed my guitar on a late, summer morning
when suddenly a call came through.
‘Caught me off guard, though not without warning.
I was still shocked it came so soon.
Don’t bring me down.
Not here, not now.
We’ve always tried to do good in our lives,
but bad things happen to us all at some time.
That’s just life.
In the end, we’re fine.
Dog gone, let’s drive
awhile,
but try to get me, get me home on time
tonight.
Try to get me, get me home on time.
Signs were there all along,
but never seen when having fun,
‘cause passing time makes youth fly by,
and we all live forever when we’re young.
Yet nothing lasts.
All things must pass,
like sunny days, quiet peace in the night,
and warm embraces of people we like.
Then we pray: “May it never die”.
Dog gone, let’s drive
awhile,
but try to get me, get me home on time
tonight.
Try to get me, get me home on time.
***
We have tried to do good in our lives,
but bad things happen to us all at some time.
That’s just life.
In the end, we’re fine.
There’s no time to cry,
Dog gone, let’s drive
awhile.
Just try to get me, get me home on time
tonight.
Try to get me, get me home on time,
sunshine.
Try to get me, get me home on time
tonight.
Try to get me, get me home on time..,
-to get me, get me home on time..,
-to get me, get me home on time,
dog gone.
