Time of Your Life

For some life can be an aeroplane Watch as it flies by Leaving behind a thin jet stream That dissipates with time Others a horse-drawn carriage As slowly as it moves Might as well be pulling a casket With all the good it do There are those that ride the train of life Steady on the tracks Who can see the scene from side to side But never what they've left You can treat it like a country road Or a major interstate Taking it slow where'er you go Or speed along the way Me, I prefer life as a home All cozy and warm inside Where I can raise the shutters high Or close tight the blinds There are many ways to treat it It's yours, do what you like But no matter how badly needed Life eventually runs out of time
