lyrics

It ain't about something for nothing
Or the virtues of going for broke
It's all about a species of wisdom
Went extinct last time we spoke

Old man shivers in the window
Hopes he can hold on till Spring
He's too hard to wonder where'd the time go
And too proud to ask me for anything

Well it won't take long
For the lights to all go out
I'm feeling strong
Just the same

And it might be wrong
What I'm all about
But I could not improve my aim

It ain't all about the running
Or which direction you turn
It's all about the reasons for waiting
and the size of the lessons you learn

Young man closes the curtain
He don't want to see any more
All he wants to do is remember
The reason he came down here for

I'm back on the road in my Mustang
In the hills overlooking the town
The fire has just started smoking
I'm never ever gonna come down

Well I never even knew what hit me
But it sure enough knocked me down
If all you ever wanted was to be free
Didn't have to put my heart in the ground
