I watched the sunset in my dad's old neighborhood I drove past the old house where he was raised real good I drove on the roads he drove on when he was my age And the sun set silently on the earth's stage The sky turned dark and the stars started to show So I sat on my moms car and enjoyed the spaceshow And as the streetlights reacted to the fading day That's when I swore I could hear my dad say "Son everyone grows up and everybody dies Someday this will all be gone and we wont be alive Son it's happening to me and it's happening to you too One day I was your age and the next thing I knew I got a degree and I found a career I met your mother and we made our way back here I retired from my job and your sister was born And I lost control of my leg due to my faulty spinal cord But your grandfather told me you got to live with what you get And that life's not something for you to resent Son you have to try your hardest to be content And you're not really living if you're living in regret." No, you're not really living if you're living in regret
