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
