Back in kindergarten life was good
all my friends were there
playin’ in the sandbox
with little toy cars
we lived without a care

Friends they come and go
and women come and go and
life is going by too fast

and time is ticking on
and I’ll be dead before too long
and why don’t the good times last?

now I’m grown and relationships stall
I’ve had my share of scars
it’s all too much for me sometimes
It stretches back too far

Friends they come and go
and women come and go and
life is going by too fast

and time is ticking on
and I’ll be dead before too long
and why don’t the good times last?

I want to reverse time
and relive every day
of coloring books and crayons
and chillin in third grade

I know people are good
but my back’s to the fence
Why’s life so hard to figure out?
When will it all make sense?

I know I’ll find someone for that I have no doubt
a girl to love me close while I search for a way out

Now we’re sittin’ in your bedroom
and I feel you tumor grow

friends they come and go
and women come and go and
life is going by too fast

and time is ticking on
and I’ll be dead before too long
and why don’t the good times last?

friends they come and go
and women come and go and
life is going by too fast

and time is ticking on
and I’ll be dead before too long
and why don’t the good times last?

friends they come and go
and women come and go and
life is going by too fast
