Terrible years, terrible years
Terrible years, dark corners filled with fears

Like a bullet, threatening
Everything that you hold dear
Won't you pass on by me terrible years?

He has a Bonneville, has a Cadillac
Need a little scorcher with a hard top back
Memory in the past tense
Need time for my mind to build up fence

It's a healer
It's a dealer
Lord, remove it from my sight

Won't you pass on by me terrible years

Come on rear view
Come on hindsight
Need me some space oh to make it right
I want time to shade on over every teardrop fight


Can't escape a memory
It's a tree top tangled kite

Won't you pass on by me terrible years

Terrible years, terrible years
Terrible years, dark corners filled with fears

Like a bullet, ????
Everything that you hold dear
Won't you pass on by me terrible years?
Pass on by me terrible years
