Testo The World In 1984

When our column advanced
And we saw what we have done
We were sure that we could never tell
The folks back home
Said my father to me
I had just turned sixteen
And we were walking from my school
To his apartment alone
And he said
You'd think the world you are in would always remain
But some worlds can just disappear
Some worlds you enter just for seconds at a time
And some last until you are forgiven

When my mother and me take the drive into town
I can't tell if she's lost in thought or lost where we are
She turns the radio to 92 Star
Where Ronnie Milsap sings what he would not have missed it for

And she says
What do you think you're gonna do with your life?
And I say You've got to teach me to drive
She just laughs at that
And musses my hair and says
Kid you are lucky to be alive
