So she took another step and said
Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
That I've let all these years go by wasted, yeah, yeah
I ain't spending no more time wasted
"I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it"
Gotta face it"
The still of the morning, the color of the night
To wake up one day and find
I ain't spending no more time wasted
I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
That I've let all these years go by wasted
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
That I've let all these years go by wasted
To wake up one day and find
And you just can't get it back, let's face it"
For one split second, she almost turned around
The still of the morning, the color of the night
He says, "It's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
To wake up one day and find
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
Oh I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
The still of the morning, the color of the night
But that would be like pouring rain drops back into a cloud
'Til the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
She said, "Sometimes love slips away
For the first time in a while, yeah yeah
That I've let all these years go by wasted
'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
She kept drivin' along
