lyrics

Remember when we were young and we didn't care
about the weight of the world
Ride your bike down the road jump off the dock at the lake
maybe try to kiss a girl

you got your license and a crappy car
and you drove what you thought was far
and you never never cared about the weight of the world
and tomorrow was a world away

it's not much these days but i still feel that way
sometimes as sunrise
when the colors blend all the yellows and reds
i still feel lucky sometimes

walk to the river and be alone
watch the ripples from the rocks I've thrown
and think about the paths that brought me here
and wonder where my path will go

If I could go back to being a boy
would I change a thing
all the ripples i've made with all the stones that I've thrown
but ways just lead on to ways

what about down the line when I'm older will i
still remember the days
maybe i'll find a picture of me as a boy
keep for always

hold it up to the rising sun
wade in the basin when my river's run
I'll still throw rocks in the water on my last day
maybe look in the mirror and say

If I could go back to being a boy
could i change a thing
all the ripples i've made with all the stones that i've thrown
but ways just lead on to ways
