Let onward be my epitaph
Let forward be my cradle
Rock 'n' Roll my motto and my sign

Let age be damned
Let time roll on
For I will always love you
The moon will toss and roll the rising tide

On a California Coast where you cry just like a baby
Cuz you're lonely, tired, and you can't sleep at night
Feeling like a chump cuz you're so much money losin'
Prayin' that you're not too weak to fight
Got a feelin' like I'm racing against some faster horses
Possibly my edge is less than fine
Ashamed to look at photographs cuz your thick around the middle
Be where I thought I'd be at 35


Let onward be my epitaph
Let forward be my cradle
Rock 'n' Roll my motto and my sign

Let age be damned
Let time roll on
For I will always love you
The moon will toss and roll the rising tide

Hard to believe it's ten years gone
And I keep pushin' harder
I ain't got no money baby now
Driven 'cross this country while I've seen a pair of oceans
Seems to make it worth it all somehow
I've drank the water from the well of beauty and tradition
Keep the older masters in my mind
Beg and borrow but never steal to make the bills on Monday
Be where I thought I'd be at 35

Let onward be my epitaph
Let forward be my cradle
Rock 'n' Roll my motto and my sign

Let age be damned
Let time roll on
For I will always love you
The moon will toss and roll the rising tide
The moon will toss and roll the rising tide
