It seems my best days just slipped away
without a cloud on new years day
Its not the end, but I know I'll miss my friends
until we meet again

Ten years have passed, since we first picked up the reigns
Each night, a different stage
another crowd, but the same charades
Each of us just had to know

That someday it would end, and everything would change
Life ain't so simple anymore
From old dawn to new day, I hope I don't just fade away
Thank God for my family and friends

I guess its time that I try to be a simple man,
like I always sang about
They say its times like these that you learn to love again
and now I'm closer to the edge
We told of the girl who talks to the ones up above
we'd say that they'd call her out by name
Well Tom Sawyer's gone now, with the space that he invades
Even he had to say

That someday it would end, and everything would change
Life ain't so simple anymore
From old dawn to new day, I hope I don't just fade away
Thank God for my family and friends
From old dawn to new day, I hope I don't just fade away
Thank God for my family and friends
