   MAYBE WE'LL BE IN THE NEWS SOMEDAY

Those childhood days
That seem so far away...
If this world was going wrong,
I didn't know it then.
You could say
I threw the years away,
But as the time went flying by...
I thought I did it my way.

Tomorrow was just another chance for me...
Circumstances guiding me
And if I fell
The chase was all in fun.
I never knew
What I was meant to do...
An opportunist getting old,
But I'm not the only one.

So don't tie me down with your sympathy.
Don't think of me as I'll never be.
Don't make me wrong
When I just tried to get along.
You talk of truth...I talk of dreams.

You could say
Oh...I threw the years away.
And that...that was the day...
The day they took my taste of youth away.

We all grew up a little today,
But I didn't want to grow up this way.
Maybe we'll be in the news...
Someday.
