about

Feel good & nostalgic ukulele song

lyrics

I’ve been millions of miles down this road to success
I’m more confident than ever that I’m lost
Should have taken the old mans advice years ago
When he said son
You’ve gotta learn when to slow down
But I was way too busy for that dad
I was way too busy for that
And now it ain’t that easy but it’s easier said than done

So I flew down that road like my feet was afire
Burned down every bridge that I crossed
I should’ve taken some time to sit and talk with the ones I loved
Before they ran out of stories to tell
But I was way too busy for that grandpa
I was way too busy for that
And now it ain’t that easy but it’s easier said than done

I always wonder why the good times are fleeting
While the bad times hang around

Now all I can do is sit and stare at every fork in the road
And wonder if I should turn around
Should’ve stopped right then and there to pick up every piece as they dropped
Or get the fires under control
But I was way too busy for that son
I was way too busy for that
And now it ain’t that easy but it’s easier said than done

It ain’t that easy it ain’t that easy but it’s easier said than done
