Too many cities from the back of a bar
Too many miles at the wheel of a car
Too many faces and names I forget
Too many promises left unkept
Too much of that and too much of this
Too many chances I think I missed
Too much living from day to day
Just passing the time away
Rollin' along on a summer breeze
Silver T-bird took us down to The Keys
We blew a thousand dollars or more
We ended up crawling on the floor
Didn't we laugh and didn't we sing
And didn't we make those good times ring
Not enough work, too much play
We're just passing the time away
How did tomorrow get to be today
Did we lose it or throw it away
Sooner or later you gotta pay
When you're passing the time away
Sun comes up and it shines too bright
Sleep all day and play all night
You got the money, I got the time
And I'm ready to go and I'm feeling fine
Easy come, easy go
The highs are high, the lows are low
When they put me away
I'm gonna say I was passing the time away
Rock me gentle, roll me slow
Kiss my ass and let me go
Is this real or just a dream
'Cause things ain't always what they seem
Nobody said it was gonna last
The trouble is it moves too fast
Rolling into another day
Just passing the time away
How did tomorrow get to be today
Did we lose it or thow it away
Sooner or later you gotta pay
When you're passing the time away
Hey, hey
Pretty young boys are up there now
They're playing guitar and showing us how
They got it made with the sweet young girls
Short black skirts, the crazy curls
I get the feeling we don't belong
Somewhere down the line I think we got it wrong
What the hell, that's ok
We're just passing the time away
How did tomorrow get to be today
Did we lose it or thow it away
Sooner or later you gotta pay
When you're passing the time away
