Leaves fall but I'm fallin' faster Created my own disaster One day I know that I'll be alright There's lessons learned in this chapter Cause they say I'm in over my head But nobody knows when our story ends How has it been 26 years Oh how did I get here (get here) All of my best years They felt like rain and now their washing away And now I can see clear Just like the colors of the trees I change Oh I really don't wanna have it all figured out Someday somewhere in some house All my best years They made me who I am today All of my best years (Oh-ah-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-oh-oh) All of my best years (Oh-ah-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-oh-oh) My heart belongs with the mountains Hot tea and evergreen Out there I'm screaming and shouting Telling everybody, oh won't you let me be My-my it's been 26 years Oh how did I get here All of my best years They felt like rain and now their washing away And now I can see clear Just like the colors of the trees I change Oh I really don't wanna have it all figured out Someday somewhere in some house All my best years They made me who I am today All of my best years I like it better I like it better When I don't have it all together I like it better I like it better When I don't have it all together
