I look at the sun,
And I know it’s gonna be one of the days,
That takes me right back to when I was young,
Dreaming through the summer haze.

When nothing was scary, I could do anything.
Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,
Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,
Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,
Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.

These are the days I remember,
These are the days I miss,
When young and free was all I had to be,
And reality didn't exist.

Stuck on the train riding to work again,
Life on a one-way street,
My only escape is to pause and replay,
Like a memory played on repeat.

When nothing was scary, I could do anything.
Loving to cartwheel and dance in the rain,
Pulling up daisies to put in a chain,
Laughing for hours and rolling down hills,
Climbing the trees at the old farmer's mill.

These are the days I remember,
These are the days I miss,
When young and free was all I had to be,
And reality didn't exist.

Take me back to being young,
Take me back to being young,
Take me back to being young,
Take me back to being young.

Sun goes down,
Dark all around,
Look away, go away now,
Nothing left to say now.

Doors stay closed,
What was new now is old,
Run away, turn away now,
Nothing you can say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

Tears fall down,
Never make a sound,
You can go, you can go now,
Nothing you can do now.

Life goes on,
Forever holding on,
Another day to take away now,
Nothing left to say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

I know a place just out of town,
Comes to life when the sun goes down,
Where everybody knows your name,
And no two nights are ever the same.

There’s a band playing country blues,
King of the road and blue suede shoes,
Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,
People don’t dance like that no more.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

With a friend or by yourself,
The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,
Smoke twirling under neon lights,
You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.

Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,
Knocking down shots like dominoes,
Leave your money on the table, double or quits,
You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.
