J. Mellencamp

A million young poets, Screamin’ out their words.  To a world full of people, Just livin’ to be heard.  Future generations, Ridin’ on the highways that we built.  I hope they have better understanding.  Goin’ to work on Monday, Got yourself a family.  All utility bills have been paid, You can’t tell your best buddy that you love him.  Where does our time go, Got a brand new house in Escrow.  Sleepin’ with your back to your loved one.  This is all that we’ve learned about happiness.  Forgot to say hello to my neighbors, Sometimes I question my own behavior.  Talkin’ about the girls that we’ve seen on the sly, Just to tell our souls we’re still the young lions.  Gettin’ too drunk on Saturdays, Playin’ football with the kids on Sundays.  Soarin’ with the eagles all week long.  And this is all that we’ve learned about living.  This is all that we’ve learned about living.
