I'll never ceased to be amazed
At just how long a man can take
To realize the glory days are gone
A year can only take a minute when you face the past and jump right in it
Before you know it you're standing there alone
But what you lose in innocence wisdom makes up for in age
And the best part of the story
Is just around the page
For the Life of Me
I feel it in my bones
Life's too short to wait around and spend holding on
For the Life of Me
It's time that I moved on
No more walking backwards there's too much going on
For the Life of Me
For the Life of Me
When the towers fell and we went to war
I went right down and joined the Corps
Without even a second thought
Knowing that I'm a family man
I still got to do what I can
'Cuz freedom don't come free
It's gotta be bought
We all lost our innocence on that September day
I knew that it was time to make those bastards pay
For the Life of Me
I feel it in my bones
Life's too short to wait around and spend holding on
For the Life of Me
It's time that I moved on
No more walking backwards there's too much going on
For the Life of Me
For the Life of Me
When the bombs began to fall
I thought about my family and all
Those American things
I'd left behind
I sit through the cold and lonely nights and I put the enemy in my sights
Knowing someday victory will be mine
I risked my life I risked my family I risked everything I've got
I've risked everything for my country
And looking back I'm not
For the Life of Me
I feel it in my bones
Life's too short to wait around and spend holding on
For the Life of Me
It's time that I moved on
No more walking backwards there's too much going on
For the Life of Me
For the Life of Me
