[Chorus]
Time, keeps rollin', rollin', I
Keep hopin', hopin', I
Got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is—

[Verse 1]
Take me back
To riding bikes around the cul-de-sac
And jumping over sidewalk cracks
With my brother after school (Ooh)
Dreams we had
Never know we would grow up so fast
And summers underneath the sun don't last
Even if you want them to (Ooh)
Then suddenly I woke up one day
Looking more like my dad
The world don't seem so big no more
And I gotta face the facts

[Chorus]
Time (Time) keeps rollin', rollin', I
Keep hopin', hopin', I
Got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is
Time, ain't waitin', waitin', I
Keep prayin', prayin', I
Make the most of mine
And live my life before I run out of (Time)
[Verse 2]
Take me back
To the river by the railroad tracks
In the backseat of that Pontiac
Learnin' how to fall in love (Ooh)
Oh, the harder you try
You just can't slow it down
'Cause the days turn to nights
Now the year goes around
And you laugh and you cry
People change and they die
And it all leads to now
Funny when you think about

[Chorus]
Time, keeps rollin', rollin', I
Keep hopin', hopin', I
Got a ways to go
The only thing we can't control is
Time, ain't waitin', waitin', I
Keep prayin', prayin', I
Make the most of mine
And live my life before I run out of—

[Outro]
Time
Time
Time
Then suddenly I woke up one day
Looking more like my dad
If he were here, I bet he'd tell you
The only thing you can't get back is
Time
Time
Time
