Lyrics

Still the Same
Music and Lyrics by Dave Barta (2008)



Time goes on and I don't change
My hot ride's rusty but it drives the same
I played my hand and I won some games
I might be older but I'm still the same.

Now I trip tourists on a dusty trail
I got the sway-back horses with the fly-swat tails
I earn my money with my eyes wide closed
The horses know which way to go

I've got a three-legged dog without a name
And we ride the same trail every day
Sometimes he stands off to the side
And watches as we all file by
But I don't want to go there now
Oh, I don't want to go back now

Seems like time goes on and on
Time goes on some more
I'm still the same....

I keep my pictures in a cardboard box
Beneath the stairs where it's always dark
I keep thinking I might want to see
My life in color like it used to be-
And sometimes I wonder
If they're layered just like life itself
Or maybe they are faded
From going on and on


But I don't want to go there now
Oh, I don't want to go back now
Seems like time goes on and on
Time goes on some more
I'm still the same

Well, all I ever wanted was what I almost was
And my memories are still with me
Then they're gone
And sometimes when I think of you
It's then I hear those cheers
So I've lived among those memories all these years

But I don't want to go there now
Oh I don't want to go there now
Seems like everything that that mattered then
Don't matter now at all
Well I'm still the same it -was you that changed ...
And I remember when I won
Seems like time goes on and on
Time goes on some more
Time can go on and on
....I'm still the same

Now I trip tourists on a dusty trail
And I'm still the same.
