John Mellencamp - Minutes To Memories слова песни
On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond JamestownHe saw the sun set on the Tennessee lineHe looked at the young man who was riding beside himHe said I`m old kind of worn out insideI worked my whole life in the steel mills of GaryAnd my father before me I helped build this landNow I`m seventy-seven and with God as my witnessI earned every dollar that passed through my hands My family and friends are the best thing I`ve known Through the eye of the needle I`ll carry them homeCHORUS 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 canThe rain hit the old dog in the twilight`s last gleamingHe said Son it sounds like rattling old bonesThis highway is long but I know some that are longerBy sunup tomorrow I guess I`ll be homeThrough the hills of Kentucky `cross the Ohio riverThe old man kept talking `bout his life and his timesHe fell asleep with his head against the windowHe said an honest man`s pillow is his peace of mind This world offers riches and riches will grow wings I don`t take stock in those uncertain thingsCHORUSThe old man had a vision but it was hard for me to followI do things my way and I pay a high priceWhen I think back on the old man and the bus rideNow that I`m older I can see he was rightAnother hot one out on highway elevenThis is my life It`s what I`ve chosen to doThere are no free rides No one said it`d be easyThe old man told me this my son i`m telling it to youCHORUS
