Longest Days(Live) - John Mellencamp

作词：John Mellencamp

作曲：John Mellencamp

It seems like once upon a time ago

I was where I was supposed to be

My vision was true and my heart was too

There was no end to what I could dream

I walked like a hero into the setting sun

And everyone called out my name

Death to me was just a mystery

I was too busy raising up again

But nothing lasts forever

When your best efforts just don't pay

And one day you get sick

And you won't get better

That's when life is short

Even in its longest days

So you pretend not to notice

That everything about has changed

The way that you look

And the friends you once had

So you just keep on acting the same

But deep down in your soul that you know

You got no flame

And who knows then which way to go

Life is short even in its longest days

All I got here

Is the rear view mirror

The reflections of where I've been

So you tell ourself I'll be back up on top some day

But you know there's nothing

waiting up there for you anyway

But nothing lasts forever

When your best efforts just don't pay

Sometimes you get sick

And you won't get better

That's when life is short

Even in its longest days

So friends our life is short

Even in its longest days
