Well a quarter in a fountain means that people still have dreams
And a token in a pocket means that people can't come clean
So come on now boy, and don't you be afraid to start cause'
Sweat on your skin's better than regret on your heart

Well the wrinkles on your face from regret filled days
Your eyes tell the story of a place far away
And if you, don't bleed now, you'll forever have to pay
You're not livin' unless you're willing to do some dyin' along the way

And if you can't see now then you'll find out one day
When your hands are getting weak and you're fading away
Take these words, and now, let em' be your saving grace
Ain't no better time than today

Take them hits on your sleeve and wear em' proud
You're the only one around here that truly knows how to
Save them tears for a day where you'll need em'
Like the times when you come home, not the times when you're leavin'

And if you can't see now then you'll find out one day
When your hands are getting weak and you're fading away
Take these words, and now, let em' be your saving grace
Ain't no better time than today

Well if you can't see now then you'll find out one day
When your hands are getting weak and you're fading away
Take these words, and now, let em' be your saving grace
Ain't no better time than today
