Verse 1:

When the day was young and life easy
We used to ride the turning tides, no happy and care free
When it was us against the world, the world came falling to his feet
For all we knew forever young, would always be

Verse 2:

And she rode on a horse of gasoline
And drove us to the border of our childhood city streets
Saw the world in lights a'calling how I couldn't wait to leave
Funny now the more I go through life, the more it seems to me

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry

Verse 3:

Now the weeks are worn in black and white
They fade into each other turn to years before your eyes
Yesterday it seemed the world was my playground and free to ride
Now with every new page that I turns, the same thing that I write

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry

Bridge:

And the stormy clouds they block the sun
And tomorrows a loaded gun
And every rode I take looks like, another walked upon
And the devil sings to me at night, in dreams I never brought to life
Sings sorry but it seems to me my sun

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry
