[00:00.000]The Years (Album Version) - Cross Canadian Ragweed
[00:16.311]My mother had a Mexican boyfriend
[00:20.461]He stole a car once or twice before
[00:24.631]He got busted at the Best Budget Inn
[00:28.231]I found my way to the door
[00:32.171]I couldn't take any more
[00:37.901]Lived with my sister and her second husband
[00:41.800]South of the river and off the grid
[00:45.640]I went to work with my cousin
[00:49.500]Just like the rest of us kids
[00:53.410]I tried to keep it all hid
[00:58.809]That seems so long ago
[01:03.088]I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
[01:10.418]The years can slip away
[01:14.856]When you're trying to get away and I never did
[01:22.676]I got tired of country living
[01:26.373]And tryin' to make a new batch of friends
[01:30.292]It's hard to give when there's no givin'
[01:33.952]I stuck my thumb in the wind
[01:37.952]Nothin' against my kin
[01:43.701]I headed back to where I started
[01:47.621]Pawned everything that I could pawn
[01:51.461]I guess I thought they'd be open-hearted
[01:55.341]They never knew I was gone
[01:59.209]I just kept moving along
[02:04.548]That seems so long ago
[02:08.917]I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
[02:16.197]The years can slip away
[02:20.637]When you're trying to get away and I never did
[02:59.292]I worked the day and the night life
[03:03.151]I drilled the bars and I drilled the ground
[03:06.991]One for pay one for the good times
[03:10.961]One of 'em's still hanging 'round
[03:14.740]I put the other one down
[03:20.119]That seems so long ago
[03:24.429]I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
[03:31.808]The years can slip away
[03:36.018]When you're trying to get away and I finally did
