Back Seat Life

By Charles Bryson

Verse 1

Time ticking oh so slow
Dreams of Paris - just can’t go
Young boy in the city
Born for greatness - just don’t know

Second hand sweeps so slow
Years go by – he’s on the ropes
Moments of joy forgotten
Life head on – down he goes

Chorus

Cruise life in the back seat ride
He can get there, but never drives
No one told him he was right
When he dreamt of a better life

Cruise life in the back seat ride
He can get there, but never drives
No one told him he was right
When he dreamt of a better life

Verse 2

Sometimes he’d see the light
White flags – before the fight
He didn’t see the use
Would have been champion that night

Heart was oh so strong
Hit so hard – used it wrong
His thoughts –that no one cares
Dark nights – seem so long

Chorus

Verse 3

Yeah – he still walks alone
His soundtrack – saddest song
Never heard harmony
Or he’d know where he belongs

Man, he goes round and round
Sometimes up – expects those downs
It just may be the way
He takes the road towards his crown

Chorus

Bridge

Keep on cruising
Cruising
Cruising in the back seat

Cruising in the back seat
The back seat
The back seat – yeah

Chorus
