LES THAN FIFTY FIVE

i want to see the yellow in the daisies
i want to see the blue in the birds
i want to see the mountains filled with snow
i want to feel the ocean around my body
feel the sand between my toes
smell the summer rain
taste the love that comes from a woman
i want this & more but i can't
when you got me going..

les than fifty five
the times have changed
and so has the speed limit seventy now
my heart beats even faster
children grow up faster
with responsibility
honey still you got my wheels spinning
les than fifty five & life is passing me by

almost everyone is curious
what's behind the door
if the grass is greener than any diamond field
i've seen eyes shine brighter
than any diamond i could afford
i know love is tough
and it sure as hell ain't free

there's a time when a man's got to be a man
and make a stand
let a woman see, he can be strong & grown up
but that woman better be real
because when a man's heart is right
you better not get inside
because when you lie, your gonna get burned
