Album: Keeping the Dream Alive
He was born in Mississippi
But he was raised in Vietnam
And when he came home to the Delta
His innocence was gone
Gone were summer mornings
In the midst of Southern charm
He never even knew the comfort
Of a Southern lady's arms
Where did the good years go
So many never know
All the joys of simply living
Of being free to grow
Where did the good years go
Well, she got her start on the boulevard
Flagging cars that held her mark
And at sixteen, she was the Sunset queen
With a cruel and hardened heart
But at the prime of her profession
She begins to realize
That she's sold her adolescence
For much too low a price, tell me...
Where did the good years go
So many never know
They don't know
All the joys of simply living
Of being free to grow
Where did the good years go
Where did they go
So many never know
They don't know
So, to all the overeager
To the prisoners of fate
Hang on to the moment
Don't let it get too late
Don't be saying...
Where did the good years go
So many never know
All the joys of simply living
Of being free to grow
Where did the good years
Where did the good years go
So many never know
They don't know
All the joys of simply living
Of being free to grow
Where did the good years go
Where did the good years go
Where did the good years go
