Longest Days (Live)-John Mellencamp

[00:14.78]Seems like once upon a time ago [00:17.41]I was where I was supposed to be [00:21.60]My vision was true and my heart was too [00:26.53]There was no end to what I could dream [00:31.72]I walked like a hero into the setting sun [00:39.35]Everyone called out my name [00:42.72]Death to me was just a mystery [00:47.72]I was too busy raising up Cain [00:51.66]But nothing lasts forever [00:59.04]Your best efforts don't always pay [01:03.35]Sometimes you get sick and don't get better [01:07.66]That's when life is short [01:10.22]Even in it's longest days [01:16.28]So you pretend not to notice [01:23.16]That everything has changed [01:25.60]The way that you look and the friends you once had [01:31.78]So you keep on acting the same [01:34.78]But deep down in your soul [01:43.84]You know you, you got no flame [01:48.59]And who knows then which way to go [01:51.66]Life is short even in it's longest days [02:03.35]All I got here [02:05.29]Is a rear view mirror [02:09.85]Reflections of where I've been [02:16.10]So you tell yourself [02:23.65]I'll be back up on top some day [02:27.16]But you know there's nothing [02:31.47]Waiting up there for you anyway [02:34.85]Nothing lasts forever [02:42.40]And your best efforts don't always pay [02:46.78]Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better [02:52.03]That's when life is short [02:54.91]Even in it's longest days [02:57.65]Life is short [03:04.84]Even in it's longest days
