David Taylor & The Tallboys - What Once Was

Back in the day when we were making good grades
We were wonderin' if we'd ever get laid
It's been fifteen years, how the times have changed
But ain't it funny how some things are the same
Come on
Ain't it funny how some things remain
Come on

Do you remember the time that I drove you home
In my '92 Accord in the crazy snow
The car spun out and I lost control
We thought that we would die, we didn't know
Come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I've been thinking back on what once was
The good and the bad and all of the love, come on
The good and the bad and all the above, come on

These days you're off doing big things
Saving the world in an aeroplane
Living way out west in Boise
The pictures that you sent were so pretty
Come on

When you get home we'll go out for a drink
Talk about the past and we'll swap stories
We'll get real drunk and share our dreams
Like we used to do when we were sixteen
Come on
Don't you remember when we were sixteen
Come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I've been thinking back on what once was
The good and the bad and all of the love, come on
The good and the bad and all the above, come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I've been thinking back on what once was
The good and the bad and all of the love, come on
The good and the bad and all the above, come on
