We go way back, way back down
Down the same old sidewalk on the other side of town
Across every highway and into every stream
One step at one time is all we ever dream
And we go dancing with our memories
Pretty pictures of where we've been
We don't hold on to tomorrow
Like we used to, way back when
We go gently, we go bold
Every intention of doing what we're told
Follow all instructions within the line of sight
Then our self destruction stirs up the same old fight
And we go dancing, with our memories
Pretty pictures of where we've been
We don't hold on to tomorrow
Like we used to, way back when
We don't need a handout, giving us away
We don't ask for help on any ordinary day
And we don't remember what we have become
Just another ordinary day has begun
We need substance and we need proof
We don't believe that anything will give us back our youth
We are set in stone although it changes on the way
We don't ask for much on any ordinary day
And we go dancing with our memories
Pretty pictures of where we've been
We don't hold on to tomorrow
Like we used to, way back when
