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 To get me, get me home on time To get me, get me home on time Dog gone
