Twenty-Six Years

Lyrics

I thought I knew where my head was at I figured that I had it all down pat That's just like thinking the world is flat How could I have been so wrong I Thought that I had it all worked out Really thought I knew what life was about That's just like me, not a question, not a doubt How could I have been so wrong so long Oh I've made mistakes but mostly I've been right I guess that's what kept me from seeing the light Pride and false values have been blocking my sight But the sun doesn't shine just for me Parts of a song, that's what I thought of changes Isn't it funny how life rearranges Now I've become what I once thought was strange And though I know it's a better way to be There is still lots of changes left in me Twenty-six years on a roundtrip ticket around the sun I've been that many times I took the journey, tried to find my heaven 'Cause last time out, I got left behind The world's been a very fine chariot A chance for me to see The world's been a very fine chariot A good old friend to me
