lyrics

Yesterday’s Sun

We were young, the whole damn world was ours
We will talk for hours, under yesterday’s sun
We were wild, drunk and often stoned
But we almost made it home, under yesterday’s sun
We were free, no man could put us down
We were heroes, zeroes, clowns, under yesterday’s sun.

Chorus
I’d had enough of small town lights; I’d had enough of small town fights
I know that I had to go
I’d had enough of small town girls; I’d had enough of small town worlds
I know that I had to go; I know that I had to go.

We grew up, through love and hate and pain
But friends we have remained, under yesterday’s sun
Now the days, have flown from weeks to years
Wives and children have appeared, we meet at weddings now
But I can recall a million crazy things
The fights, the fools, the flings; under yesterday’s sun.

Chorus
I’d had enough of small town dreams; I’d had enough of small town themes
I know that I had to go
I’d had enough of small town nights; I’d had enough of small town spite
I know that I had to go; I know that I had to go.

(Instrumental)

So I flew, I knew I had to leave
But they were tugging at my sleeve under yesterday’s sun
A small town child, I could never stay
I had to get away, from under yesterday’s sun
But they’re still my brothers far from home
The best I’ve ever known, under yesterday’s sun
Under yesterday’s sun, under yesterday’s sun.
