MY MIND HAS CHANGED

MY MIND HAS CHANGED


Driving fast and squealing rubber,
Is how I got my kicks
When I became a licensed driver,
Back in nineteen fifty six

Live real fast and love real hard,
Leave that beautiful memory
Is what I thought back then,
I wanted most for me

The years were passing slowly
I guess that’s the way it seems,
When your life of education,
Is only half way through your teens

By the time I was in my Twenty’s
Things had changed a lot for me
I was a Sergeant in the army,
With a lot of responsibility

I won’t bother you with other years,
Or life’s education gained
Just to say there has been sunshine,
And sometimes it has rained

Now I like to live and love real slow,
And as for leaving a memory;
I only hope somewhere, sometime,
Somebody thinks of me

So my friend if your reading this,
You’ll see my thinking rearranged
Throughout my years of living,
Oh, how my mind has changed
