| 作词 : Green, Mellencamp | |
| On a greyhound thirty miles beyond jamestown | |
| He saw the sun set on the tennessee line | |
| He looked at the young man who was riding beside him | |
| He said i'm old kind of worn out inside | |
| I worked my whole life in the steel mills of gary | |
| And my father before me i helped build this land | |
| Now i'm seventy-seven and with god as my witness | |
| I earned every dollar that passed through my hands | |
| My family and friends are the best thing i've known | |
| Through the eye of the needle i'll carry them home | |
| Chorus: | |
| Days turn to minutes | |
| And minutes to memories | |
| Life sweeps away the dreams | |
| That we have planned | |
| You are young and you are the future | |
| So suck it up and tough it out | |
| And be the best you can | |
| The rain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming | |
| He said son it sounds like rattling old bones | |
| This highway is long but i know some that are longer | |
| By sunup tomorrow i guess i'll be home | |
| Through the hills of kentucky 'cross the ohio river | |
| The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times | |
| He fell asleep with his head against the window | |
| He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind | |
| This world offers riches and riches will grow wings | |
| I don't take stock in those uncertain things | |
| Chorus: | |
| Days turn to minutes | |
| And minutes to memories | |
| Life sweeps away the dreams | |
| That we have planned | |
| You are young and you are the future | |
| So suck it up and tough it out | |
| And be the best you can | |
| The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow | |
| I do things my way and i pay a high price | |
| When i think back on the old man and the bus ride | |
| Now that i'm older i can see he was right | |
| Another hot one out on highway eleven | |
| This is my life it's what i've chosen to do | |
| There are no free rides no one said it'd be easy | |
| The old man told me this my son i'm telling it to you | |
| Chorus: | |
| Days turn to minutes | |
| And minutes to memories | |
| Life sweeps away the dreams | |
| That we have planned | |
| You are young and you are the future | |
| So suck it up and tough it out | |
| And be the best you can |
