As Good as It Gets

lord knows the places we've been

and the things that we've seen

so many years now it almost feels like a dream

we rode together like outlaws

we can't live it down

we were hell bent for leather

whenever the road out of town

it's hard being wanted

and that's why we stay on the run

and you gotta look over your shoulder

to see what you've done

and tomorrow's a new day

that's just a matter of fact

so we keep moving forward

'cause we know there's no turning back

we drank the hard stuff and we stayed up all night long

burning the wick at both ends till the candle is gone

we're still hanging in there

it hasn't caught up with us yet

and even one jump ahead of our time running out

just might be as good as it gets

probably keep drifting alone

no reason to quit

but we talk about settling down

every chance that we get

but we'll have to slow down

long enough to find someone to hold

most folks say we're crazy

maybe we're just getting old

we took the hard stuff and we stayed up all night long

burning the wick at both ends till the candle was gone

we're still hanging in there

it hasn't caught up with us yet

and keeping one jump ahead of our time running out

just might be as good as it gets

we keeping one jump ahead of our time running out

this might be as good as it gets
