A man with no past

Verse

I missed finding love when I was young.

I’d get what I wanted and leave.

I passed on my chance at happiness.

Because I thought only of me.

Pre chorus

I went from twenty to sixty in no time.

I looked back and saw the dust.

I thought if I slowed down I’d rust.

Chorus

A wise man once told me

There’s no need to speed.

There’ll be things that you miss

And things you won’t see.

Slow down take it easy

Don’t go so damn fast.

Or someday you’ll wind up

A man with no past.

Verse

I missed having kids and a good wife.

I didn’t think it would get to me.

I thought I was better off single.

But now it’s the ghost haunting me.

Pre chorus

I went from twenty to sixty in no time.

I looked back and saw the dust.

I thought if I slowed down I’d rust.

 Chorus

A wise man once told me

There’s no need to speed.

There’ll be things that you miss

And things you won’t see.

Slow down take it easy

Don’t go so damn fast.

Or someday you’ll wind up

A man with no past.

Bridge

The signs are a blur when you’re speeding

There are no warnings to heed.
