"Best Of Times" lyrics

"Best Of Times"

I've got a custom Continental
Made in 1965
But with a "Save The Planet" sticker
That makes it kind of hard to drive
I got a big house full of apples
And I'm a big fan of both kinds
I know that one can keep the doctor away
And one can sure mess with your mind

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine
Channel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

And my toys are made in China
My guitar's in Mexico
My frozen food comes from Japan
Give me a dog from Chicago
I need to take myself to Yellowstone
Climb up to that blue ridge too
Remind myself of what's beautiful
About the big red white and blue

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine
Channel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

When I woke up this morning
I got down on my knees to pray
Because my end time is done running out
But my calendar's full of days

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine
Channel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine
