So the Years Roll On

歌詞

One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show And thinking back, I just don't know Did it change anyone but me? Three hundred gigs or more each year The 'sixties floated by in beer No money, no fear The game had just begun The seventies stole the innocence No control, but we had the sense To know our worth and keep the friends We met along the way One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show And thinking back, I just don't know Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar, we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on The nineteen-eighties, staggering along Another face, a different song Where had the years gone But we had far to go The 'nineties next, the singers' curse Tunes so fast that we feared the worst And every kid played better than us But still we did okay One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show And thinking back, I just don't know Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar, we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on The Millennium changed, we missed the signs A good man went before his time Damn near the end of the line But we survived again Round the world in an old grey van I recall how it all began For better or worse, I'm the man I am I'd do it all again Six thousand gigs, just one more Exit left through the old stage door The voice has gone and the back is sore I'd do it all again One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show And thinking back, I just don't know Did it change anyone but me? One drink, we went along To the Waverley Bar, we sang a song In three minutes, it was done And so the years rolled on One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show One drink before I go To walk on stage for the final show And so the years rolled on So the years rolled on So the years rolled on So the years rolled on And on
