Friday night, I'm staying home
And I hear those neighbors,
Now, it's okay if I don't sleep
I ain't got nowhere to be
And I think about the time
when I was young and free
And say, man, what a wonderful life
can you remember our yesterday?
It's not that I'm half blind,
I knew a girl, and she had a dream
they would float downstream
And she stood out on a bridge
and watched them disappear
Now you might think that I'm crazy
But sometimes I feel like these
They come closing in fast
There ain't nowhere to run
And I say, man, what a wonderful life
can you remember our yesterdays?
It's not that I'm half blind,
my head is lost, it's lost in space
And I wonder why the road has taken
Cause we travel one direction,
and today's paper I ain't read
And I'm cursing at the world,
Now it's okay if I don't sleep
I ain't got nowhere to be
And I think about the time
when I was young and free
And say, man what a wonderful
nothing less than wonderful
Ain't it a wonderful life
