MILKY WAY
(Lyrics by Donny Coyle)
In the summer back in ’83
We were kids and we were young and free. You and me
Yellow sunshine on our golden skin
Raisin’ hell ya we were only 10. And time knew no end.
(CHORUS)
How did we get to here
What happened to all of those years. Where did they disappear
Burnin’ daylight in the Milky Way
Fightin’ traffic on the interstate. While time just flies away
’92 and barely just a man
In a desert in a foreign land. Funny how time bends
Takin’ a turn now through a century
Baby blues then but they turned to green. Now she’s sixteen
(CHORUS)
How did we get to here
What happened to all of those years. Where did they disappear
A thousand miles through the Milky Way
Wishing my time away day by day. Funny how fast it fades
(BRIDGE)
And it goes on and on and on and on and seems to never end
‘Till you wake up one day and see what’s left is less than what has been
(SOLO)
43 now with a family
In my kids, myself is what I see. And dream of what will be.
When our sun it starts to fade away
We’ll just smile back at what we made. Just you and me
(CHORUS)
