i have loved
& i have lost
i've paid the cost
probably more than most

still tryin' ta' learn
ta' coast
thru the pain
ta' dance
in the rain
ta' find some gain
in the things
i sought
& what i bought
what i shoulda'
& what i ought
growin' old
remeberin'
the love's i've sold
for the price
of a careless thought

but i've got memories
& all my used ta' be's
ta' help me see's
i still got lot's
of what's ta' be's

so if i don't
slide
& if i don't hide
i'm still along
for the ride

i can live
& i can learn
i can give
& i might even burn
some old bridges
cross over some ridges
ta' begin again'
live a little sin,
a saint i ain't,
have some fun
a little run & gun
long as i don't
cut & run

so though
i've loved
& though i've lost
paid my share
of the cost
don't mean it's the end
still got time
ta' begin agin'

still got time
ta' find
my rhythmn
still got time
ta' find
my rhyme
