Somewhere Along the Way

[Verse 1] I used to think I'd have it figured out By the time I reached this age Funny how you spend your whole life looking And still don't know what to say There's a picture somewhere from the old days With a face I used to know Sometimes I wonder where that kid went And how the years went by so slow [Verse 2] I was born beside the river In a town that stays with me And no matter where I've ended up It's still the place I see I've had my share of empty evenings And some people I still miss Funny how the smallest things can bring you back To a time you thought you'd left [Chorus] Somewhere along the way Things didn't turn out like I'd planned Some things slipped right through my fingers Some I never understood And I'm still here at the end of the day With a few more stories left to say I guess we're all just getting by Somewhere along the way [Verse 3] I've got a head that never settles Always cooking up a scheme Building little worlds on paper Making something out of dreams Some days I hardly do a thing Some days I can't sit still I've learned that life don't always listen To the plans you make at will [Verse 4] There's a couple cats beside me Sleeping like they've got it made They don't worry about tomorrow Or the choices that we've made And I sit here by the window While the afternoon rolls by Thinking maybe all this living Is just learning to get by [Chorus] Somewhere along the way Things didn't turn out like I'd planned Some things slipped right through my fingers Some I never understood And I'm still here at the end of the day With a few more stories left to say I guess we're all just getting by Somewhere along the way [Bridge] I don't need to call it winning I don't need to call it loss I've been trying to make some sense of things And sometimes that's enough There's a song I haven't written There's a place I'd like to see And there's still a little something That keeps hanging on in me [Outro] So let the old guitar keep talking Let the evening have its say I don't know where I'll be tomorrow I'm still here today Somewhere along the way Somewhere along the waySomewhere Along the Way
