Well I woke up only one day older With another thousand miles on my soul And I had years of hard living and bad decisions And they've taken their toll And there's still some times I get lost on that stage I just put on a smile and grab my guitar and play 'Cause my heart has a plan and I can't stand When my mind gets in my way It used to be easy I could still remember that young man long ago I guess I got busy You're running away from someone I used to know But if time gives me a chance To catch up with myself some day, I'd say "Follow your heart, boy" "Don't let your mind get in your way" ♪ Well I can still remember coming home from work And writing songs to just four walls I've been hitting up every dive bar in this town Yeah, I played 'em all Well I had big dreams but I didn't have a name And somewhere in between I'll entertain 'Cause my heart had a plan and I'll be damned If my mind didn't get in my way It used to be easy I could still remember that young man long ago I guess I got busy You're running away from someone I used to know But if time gives me a chance To catch up with myself some day, I'd say "Follow your heart, boy" "Don't let your mind get in your way" ♪ It used to be easy I could still remember that young man long ago I guess I got busy You're running away from someone I used to know But if time gives me a chance To catch up with myself some day, I'd say "Follow your heart, boy" "Don't let your mind get in your way" "Follow your heart, boy" "Don't let your mind get in your way"
