I tried so hard to forget about life, I guess you probably did so as well
The last time I saw you it was thirty years ago, that's thirty years of time I couldn't sell.
But the years have a way of catching up on you, like the law never could, so we kept ourselves free but my life I could see, was never gonna do me any good.
Hello my friend, where you been? Gee it's good to see you again. Hello my friend, where did you go? You were hiding for so long. I've been running all these years, I've been crying all these tears, hello my friend, where you been? Gee it's good to see you again.
I often wonder about what went through our minds, so young and prepared to take our chances. We were hard up for cash & we knew about the stash & we filled our heads with fanciful romances.
We were never even followed, we'll never turn those pounds into dollars, while the threat of a prison sentence hangs in the wind and they talk about the ones that got away
Of all the things that we did, I can say I never raised my gun up in anger. And with all of the things that I thought I never knew, the only people hurt were me and you.
I'd like to change my name back to my own and I'd like to take the time to get to know someone, but there's not much of this tired life that's left, just old cash and a mountain of regret.
