I couldn't help but think back to the advice
that i got from my dad a few times
he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye
so never close your eyes..."
"...i always wanted something more than 50 hours every week
and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"
and he said
so when ambition turns into competition
i'll never be the better man
i can't help but think back to the time
he said "life goes right by"
and told me never think twice
"you can't second guess how to live your life"
all these years have been way too short
to be spent on some factory floor like me
i never went back again
i never looked back again
and he said
so when ambition turns into competition
i'll never be the better man
it's the last hour of the last day
don't fall so far behind now
you'll be another nameless face
he said
