Yesterday Tomorrow Was Today

(albüm: Highway Of Life - 1996)

When the autumn leaves were fallen and the winter winds were calling
And the southbound geese were chasing summertime
I was hungry then, and slender as well as I remember
Fighting for a place in life I could call mine

Yesterday tomorrow was today, you dreamer
Yesterday tomorrow was today

At the age of five and ten I put a handle on the wind
And learned to travel on the heels of summertime
Like a souped up 50 Ford down the road of life I roared
Never caring for a thing I left behind

Yesterday tomorrow was so far away
Yesterday I was running wild and free
Yesterday tomorrow was today young man
Yesterday tomorrow was today

From New-York to L.A, up the San Francisco bay
To the shimmering Paris lights and the warm Australian nights
In the honky-tonks and bars and the back seats of the cars
I learned my lessons well and I proudly wore my scars

Yesterday tomorrow was a blinding thing
Yesterday tomorrow came so fast
Yesterday tomorrow was today old friend
Yesterday tomorrow came at last

In the solitary gloom of some old lonely hotel room
While struggling for a way to right the wrong
The Savior Jesus-Christ came into my life
The old man passed away and the young man lives today

Yesterday tomorrow and today he is the same
Yesterday he washed my sins away
Yesterday tomorrow and today are the same
Yesterday tomorrow is today
