The skies were pure and the fields were green
and the sun were brighter then it's ever been

It is long ago
and it is far away
oh god it seems so far away

and if life is just a highway 
then the soul is just a car

and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
we got in trouble but we sure got around

there was so much left to dream 
and so much time to make it real

But there were endless winters and the dreams would freeze

And tough the nightmares should be over
some of the terrors are stil intact
but it was long ago and far away

and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
