I met an old man on a Greyhound

On my way down to New Orleans

He started talkin' in the backseat

He pulled out a flask and passed it to me



He said, 'Someday you'll be my age

And start lookin' back on where you've been

You'll get a little sad and just a little mad

When it hits you, you can't do it all againa??



So order up the good wine

Soak up the sunshine

And don't forget to take time

To try to love someone



'Cause life's just a crazy ride on a runaway train

And you can't go back for what you missed

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all files by so fast

And you only get one trip



I got off in Jackson and I started thinkin'

Starin' out the window at the rain

And I been livin' like a man sleep walkin'

There's a lot of things that I'm gonna change



I'm gonna order up the good wine

Start soakin' up the good times

Won't let another day go by

Without lovin' someone



'Cause life's just a crazy ride on a runaway train

And you can't go back for what you missed

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all files by so fast

You only get one trip



Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
