On a greyhound thirty miles beyond jamestown
he saw the sun set on the tennessee line
he looked at the young man who was riding beside him
he said iand'm old kind of worn out inside
i worked my whole life in the steel mills of gary
and my father before me i helped build this land
now iand'm seventy-seven and with god as my witness
i earned every dollar that passed through my hands
my family and friends are the best thing iand've known
through the eye of the needle iand'll carry them home
Chorus:
days turn to minutes
and minutes to memories
life sweeps away the dreams
that we have planned
you are young and you are the future
so suck it up and tough it out
and be the best you can
The rain hit the old dog in the twilightand's last gleaming
he said son it sounds like rattling old bones
this highway is long but i know some that are longer
by sunup tomorrow i guess iand'll be home
through the hills of kentucky and'cross the ohio river
the old man kept talking and'bout his life and his times
he fell asleep with his head against the window
he said an honest manand's pillow is his peace of mind
this world offers riches and riches will grow wings
i donand't take stock in those uncertain things
Chorus:
days turn to minutes
and minutes to memories
life sweeps away the dreams
that we have planned
you are young and you are the future
so suck it up and tough it out
and be the best you can
The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow
i do things my way and i pay a high price
when i think back on the old man and the bus ride
now that iand'm older i can see he was right
Another hot one out on highway eleven
this is my life itand's what iand've chosen to do
there are no free rides no one said itand'd be easy
the old man told me this my son iand'm telling it to you
Chorus:
days turn to minutes
and minutes to memories
life sweeps away the dreams
that we have planned
you are young and you are the future
so suck it up and tough it out
and be the best you can
En un galgo treinta millas más allá de jamestown
que vio el sol en la línea de Tennessee
miró a la joven que viajaba a su lado
dijo iand'm viejo tipo de gastada dentro
he trabajado toda mi vida en las fábricas de acero de gary
y mi padre antes que yo ayudé a construir esta tierra
ahora iand'm setenta y siete y con Dios como mi testigo
i ganado cada dólar que pasó por mis manos
mi familia y los amigos son la mejor cosa conocida iand've
por el ojo de la aguja iand'll llevarlas a casa
Estribillo:
días se convierten en minutos
minutos y recuerdos
vida barre los sueños
que hemos planeado
usted es joven y tú eres el futuro
así lo entiendan y difícil que fuera
y ser lo mejor que pueda
La lluvia golpeó el perro viejo en el brillante pasado de twilightand
él dijo que el hijo que suena como estertores viejos huesos
esta carretera es largo, pero sé que algunos que son más largos
para mañana la salida del sol, supongo iand'll estar en casa
a través de las colinas de Kentucky and'cross el río Ohio
el viejo siguió hablando and'bout su vida y su época
se quedó dormido con la cabeza contra la ventana
dijo un honesto manand la almohada es su pe
