I met an old man on a Greyhound On my way down to New Orleans He started talkin' in the backseat He pulled out a flask and pa**ed it to me He said, 'Someday you'll be my age And start lookin' back on where you've been You'll get a little sad and just a little mad When it hits you, you can't do it all againa?? So order up the good wine Soak up the sunshine And don't forget to take time To try to love someone 'Cause life's just a crazy ride on a runaway train And you can't go back for what you missed So make it good, make it last 'cause it all files by so fast And you only get one trip I got off in Jackson and I started thinkin' Starin' out the window at the rain
And I been livin' like a man sleep walkin' There's a lot of things that I'm gonna change I'm gonna order up the good wine Start soakin' up the good times Won't let another day go by Without lovin' someone 'Cause life's just a crazy ride on a runaway train And you can't go back for what you missed So make it good, make it last 'cause it all files by so fast You only get one trip Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train You can't go back for what you've missed So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right You only get one trip So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast
