Lyrics: McGuinn, Levy
Music: McGuinn, Levy
Played by the David Nelson Band
Tears and dreams and silly schemes
And fillies running freely
I was young and no song was sung
That did not sound appealing
I'd have my fun with a shy girl
And maybe catch a train
And I'd look back at her standing
In the rain
Dirty hands and root beer stands
And money like a river
Making deals to see how it feels
And get more than you're given
I'd have my fun with a gambling man
And bluff him withmy face
Then it's drinks for everybody
In the place
If all my days was hills to climb
And circles without reason
If all I was was passing time
My life was just a season
Shouting crowds and mummer's shrouds
And people going crazy
Always said what was in their heads
It surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bull ring
And never got a scar
It really wasn't hard
To be a star
If all my days was hills to climb
And circles without reason
If all I was was passing time
My life was just a season
