So the Years Roll On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show And thinkin' back, I just don't now Did it change anyone but me? [Verse 2: ] Three hundred gigs or more each year The sixties floated by in beer No money, no fear The game had just begun [Verse 3: ] The seventies stole the innocence No control but we had the sense To know our worth and keep the friends We met along the way [Chorus] One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show And thinkin' back, I just don't now Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on [Verse 3: ] The nineteen-eighties, staggering along Another face, a different song Where have the years gone? But we have far to go [Verse 4: ] The nineties next, the singer's curse Tuned so fast that we feared the worst And every kid played better than us But still we did okay [Chorus] One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show And thinkin' back, I just don't now Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on [Verse 5:] The millennium came, we missed the signs A good man went before his time Down near the end of the line But we survived again [Verse 6] Around the world in an old grey van I recall how it all began For better or worse I'm the man I am I'd do it all again [Verse 7] Six thousand gigs, just one more Exit left through the old stage door The voice is gone and the back is sore I'd do it all again [Chorus] One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show And thinkin' back, I just don't now Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show One drink before I go To walk onstage for the final show And so the years rolled on So the years rolled on So the years rolled on So the years rolled on And on
