Much has changed the past few years
Where will I be when this smoke all clears?
Will I still enjoy the driving
Where we’d laugh the whole way home
Will I still love the feeling that comes from playing shows?
What’s on the radio?
Styles always come and go
But I’m still here doing the only thing I know
Gotta work after driving all night
The boss said "Dave, you’re looking tired
What do you do this for
If you’re not getting signed?"
And I said
I have done my time
No one can say I never tried
And these have been the best years of my life
And I need something to believe in
So I raise my glass to you
And say "Thank you for supporting what we do"
I’ve always held on to a dream
And it still tastes so sweet
I would close my eyes and drift off into sleep
Starts with my friends and I
Driving around the countryside
And then I realized that this has
Come to be
I know there may come a day
When I will not have time to just
Drive around and play
But until that moment comes
I will be doing things my way
And I would like to take this time to say
I will remember these days
Long after times when I am old and gray
And if somebody ever asks me what this time was like
I’ll just smile, and say
"The best years of my life."
