Full Throttle

When I was a younger man
I thought this ride would never end
I loved to dance out on the edge
some said I threw my life away
A little further down the road
I see the reaper leanin' on an old fence post
He just stands there laughin'
While I fumble on my way

Chorus:

And I, I lived my life at full throttle
Drank and sang and danced and laughed
My summertime away
With winter knockin' at my door
The only thing I'm lookin' for
Is just a shade of meaning
In between gray lines of age

Verse:

I sowed a ton of wild oats
I hollered "sex and drugs and rock and roll"
I never thought about tomorrow
Or considered rainy days
Bridges burned, fences left untended
So many things that must be mended
So much that I have left to do
Before I fade away

Chorus:

Bridge:

Sure has been a long, strange ride
A few good laughs and few good cries
I just hope when I'm in my grave
Someone will remeber that I once passed this way

Chorus:
