Time keeps rolling, rolling, I keep hoping, hoping I got a ways to goThe only thing we can't control isTake me back to riding bikes around the cul-de-sacAnd jumping over sidewalk cracks with my brother after schoolDreams we had, never knew we would grow up so fastAnd summers underneath the sun don't last, even if you want them toAnd suddenly I woke up one day, looking more like my dadThe world don't seem so big no more and I gotta face the factsTime keeps rolling, rolling, I keep hoping, hopingI got a ways to goThe only thing we can't control isTake me back to the river by the railroad tracksIn the backseat of that Pontiac, learning how to fall in loveOh the harder you try, you just can't slow it downCause the day's turning night's turning day's turning night's turningCause now the year goes aroundAnd you laugh and you cry, people change and they dieAnd it all leads to now, funny when you think aboutTime keeps rolling, rolling, I keep hoping, hopingI got a ways to goThe only thing we can't control isTime ain't waiting, waiting, I keep praying, prayingI make the most of mineAnd live my life before I run out ofTimeThen suddenly I woke up one day, looking more like my dadIf he were here I bet he'd tell youThe only thing you can't get back isTimeclockyou
