There was a time when I thought I would make it & There was a time when I thought that I knew But now I find that that same old used-to-be Is gone & there ain't no easy road There was a time long ago, do you remember? We used to have so much fun, so much fun But now I find that those good ol' days are gone Oh no there ain't no easy way Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life They're only faded memories There was a time when I thought I could change things There was a time when I thought I could do But youth was just another day in my life Oh no there ain't no easy road Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life They're only faded memories There was a time when I thought I could change things There was a time when I thought I could do But youth was just another day in my life Oh no there ain't no easy road
