Monday Warning

from Behind the Eight Ball by Mickey Rickshaw

lyrics

I never wanted to grow old,
but when you're 17, you just can't face the cold.
And I've taken some hits, and felt the heat
from screaming down the road of a dead end street.

And my heroes, they said to me,
"When you fall down, you get back up on your feet."
And there's just one thing, that you've gotta know,
You can not take it with you when you go.

We said we'd never follow blindly.
We'd never fall behind.
We'd never settle for a life that would leave our souls behind.
Or let them drown in the common troubles of an ordinary life.
We'd keep that fire in our souls alive and burning bright.

And I always said that I'd never change.
And to this day, I still feel the same.
But I look around at what still remains,
And I guess that's what they call growing pains.

And I fought that clarity.
That lifts the veil and shows you what could be.
Didn't want to know- didn't want to see
what happened to that everlasting plea.

We said we'd never follow blindly.
We'd never fall behind.
We'd never settle for a life that would leave our souls behind.
Or let them drown in the common troubles of an ordinary life.
We'd keep that fire in our souls alive and burning bright.
