I guess I may not now become
All of what I once hoped to be
And many’s a great youthful dream
I have seen take it’s leave of me
And I’m sure not worth a fortune
If you’re countin’ what’s in the bank
But in terms of what’s important
Well then money don’t even rank
Cos’ I have held a lover tight
Beneath a moon of silver bright
And counted all the diamons in the sky
Been able to make children laugh (CHORUS)
And let friends know I have their back
And I’ll be proud of that until I die
A life so simply lived, can be so wonderful
And I have known this life, at it’s most beautiful
Don’t need the fastest, flashest car
When there’s still Mother Nature’s kiss
And designer names might suit some
But I like how these old threads fit
Don’t often dress by the mirror
Or with anyone else in mind
Don’t really care who sees me where
I know that kinda sight is blind
Repeat Chorus x2
I like walkin’ in the country
Where everyone you meet will smile
City lights might hide the darkness
But they’ll burn out after a while
And sunshine breaks three times a year
Might well show some how far they’ve come
My comfort’s in a sound night’s sleep
At peace with most of what I’ve done
Repeat Chorus
I guess I may not now become
All of what I once hoped to be
But that’s o.k., cos’ along the way
I became me….
