Seems like yesterday, walking home I saw Cyn and Bri laying to sunbathe. Wearing bikinis and looking fine. Heard a boombox play, blasting “Power Of Love”, “Cuts Like A Knife”, and “10-9-8”. I was 15 and way too shy. There were daydreams and nightmares. I always played the role of fool. Life has moved me, but no matter where, I always end up back at school. Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty girl on my mind. The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time. Too many bills to pay. But two kids that light up my life and keep me living. Son and daughter of a broken man. Never know what to say, thinking about you and the love you may be giving. Giving me back my legs to stand. You used to be somebody's baby. Now I hope that you will be mine. I won't ask, somebody, save me. I'll be faithful, heart and mind. Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty woman on my mind. The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time. Seasons change. Life goes on. Age grabs you by the throat. All I have to do is press play and I already know every note. Got heartland rock on my headphones and a pretty woman on my mind. The only thing that's changed since 1985... Got heartland rock on my headphones and you on my mind. The only thing that's changed since 1985 is time. Time. Time. Time.

Dollar Bill 04:55
Can't get there for standing still unless you're holding that dollar bill. When it ain't with you, you don't have a prayer. I sure miss it when it ain't there. Damn hard to handle, falling in so deep. Don't get one soon, where am I gonna sleep? Knocking on your door, baby, let me in. When your wallets' gone then so are your friends. Can't get by crawling on mother Earth. Feel like nothing, and that's what you're worth. Beg, steal, barter and you lose your pride. Going under tears you up inside. Can't get there for standing still unless you're holding that dollar bill. Back in the day I found a penny and I tossed it. Now I can't find any and I lost it. Find yourself hungry and the cupboard is bare. That's when you learn this life is unfair. Just like that it's gone in a flash. Buy your way out with a payment in cash. Can't get by crawling on mother Earth. Feel like nothing, and that's what you're worth. Beg, steal, barter and you lose your pride. Going under tears you up inside. Can't get there for standing still unless you're holding that dollar bill. You call you mother. Try to disguise. You stop a stranger. You compromise. You pray to Jesus. You tell him lies. I'm with you, son. Word to the wise... Nobody's business, but they will judge. Chip on your shoulder and you hold a grudge. You can't hide it when you're in despair. Don't forget what got you there. Keep on dreaming. Deal with regret. Wager my dollar and I'd win that bet. Can't get by crawling on mother Earth. Feel like nothing, and that's what you're worth. Beg, steal, barter and you lose your pride. Going under tears you up inside. Can't get there for standing still unless you're holding that dollar bill. Dollar bill. Can't get there for standing still unless you're holding that dollar bill.
