lyrics

When I was a kid I was always dreamin' big
About the things I'd have
When I was a little older
Man, I was bound to be bad
Strange the ways my mind has changed
With the passing days
What's important to me now
It just ain't the same
Cuz all those things I thought brought victory
They've all come and gone
Into a memory
After all I've owned
What do I have to show for myself?
Well if there's one thing I know

I know it's true
Time tells all fools
No matter what you have
What matters more is who
I've got everything a boy could want
Except for

I got me a car, a couple nice guitars
A bunch of records too
I got bikes and books and food to cook
And all of that's good
Couple of cats, they're gettin' a little fat
But what ya gonna do
I can't say I could blame 'em
I'd be livin' it up too
I got this place, it's got plenty of space
To spread my wings and do my thing
Until I fly away
Baby I've got time and I've got half a mind
To share it with you
And when you're mine that's what I'm gonna do

I know it's true
Time tells all fools
No matter what you have
What matters more is who
I've got everything a boy could want
Except for

I've been hustlin'
Most my keep I've earned
But there's so much I simply don't deserve
It could easily have happened differently
There but for the grace of god goes I
I ain't blind to see
Fortune smiled on me
And I'm smilin' back
But there's one thing that's been eluding me
The only thing
That means anything
I've got everything
I've got everything but you
