Lyrics
The Play
Wasn't all that long ago
I was just eighteen
Free to travel any road I chose
With the Chevy driving hard
We made the local scene
Waitin' on the future
'Neath neon glows
How short and sweet a time
Till daylight did appear
I could watch my future fade away
Holding tight to my lady
Afraid to let her go
The curtain falls
End of the show
So many dreams like so many stars
Are falling from the sky
I always thought we'd make 'em come true
Watching while it happened, not wanting to try
We stood on the ground while others flew
How fast it seems to me
Those long years went by
Factory owns me
Body and soul
Lady sits in quiet rooms
Just wondering why
Footlights dim
She begins to cry
