Northbound - Old Before My Time

Well, it's a favorite fault of mine that I keep dreaming
Of a place in the sun but it's so hard to see
For you see, I've been enchanted by the media
By what I could do for it
And what it could do for me

And all the chances that I took when I was younger
Seem so crazy when I think of them today
And all the changes that I chose to take so lightly
Were all part of the craziness
You know I really felt that way

It was hard for me to keep myself together
But the hard times took me further down the road
And I can't help it if I was dreaming about tomorrow
And the rainbows end where there's a pot of gold
So we are told

Well, you can get to a point where everything is easy
But you gotta work at it and feel it in the music that you play
Or you can stay at a point where everything's so crazy
That it becomes something you do
Instead of something just to say

And I must admit to feeling a little spacey
As I try to make plans for my lady, my baby and me
'Cause when you're living in a world where everyone is selling it
You gotta do more than to profit by it
You gotta feel it in your heart for free

And so we've got to keep our love together
And let the music take us further down the road
I can't help it if I'm still dreaming about tomorrow
Cause yesterdays are just making me
Feel old before my time has come

Long before my time has come

The sun's still shining
And the moon is rising
The sun's still shining
Moon is rising
