Where Did It Go

And though I tried to understand
My folks, they said I need a plan
That I'd withdraw on my return
With all the ways that I could earn
And so I ride into the town
Where I would lay my quarters down
And sugar up for my return
And get back home with time to burn

And though I thought I knew it all
I wondered where I'd sit next fall
As I recall when I was young
The ways I tried to jump the gun
I bought some time not long ago
But I don't think I'll ever know
Them kids have left but here I stay
As if it's just another day

Where am I now?
Where did it go?
Placement of time
I don't control
I have my ways
I can't deny
I change my view
Keeps going blind

I had time
Then life took hold
Now I don't mind
What I don't know
As I recline
The memories fold
But I don't mind

I never knew
What I went through
I had a plan
I had to stand
Not far above
Now I'm back and I'm trying
Seen enough of that time
I don't wanna lie
Where am I now?
Where did it go?
Placement of time
I don't control
I have my ways
I can't deny
I change my view
Keeps going blind

Where did it go?
Where am I now?
Where did it go?
Where am I now?
Where did it go?
