Hello there, my old friend Not so long ago it was 'til the end We played outside in the pouring rain On our way up the road, we started over again You're living a dream as though you're on top My mind is aching, Lord, it won't stop That's how it happens living life by the drop Up and down that road in our worn out shoes Talking 'bout good thangs and signing the blues You went your way and I stayed behind We both knew it was just a matter of time Living a dream as though you're on top My mind is aching, Lord, it won't stop That's how it happens living life by the drop No waste of time, we're alive today Turning up the past, there's no easier way Time's been between us, a means to an end God, it's good to be here walking together, my friend Living a dream, my mind starts thinking That's how it happens living life by the drop That's how it happens living life by the drop That's how it happens living life by the drop
