Lyrics
End of the Line
Copyright © 2011
Words and music by Bruce Edwin
Well, I know it's time for me to go,
Cause I've been at this for a long, long time.
Yes, it's been good; it's been one helluva ride,
And now I know I'm at the end of the line . . . and I don't mind.
It's no surprise that I'm replaceable.
There are plenty of people waiting in line,
To take my place... fill my space...
To leave their mark like I left mine . . . now it's their turn to shine.
Oh, ho it's time for me to go;
It's been quite a ride.
There have been highs and there have been lows,
And I tried to take things in stride and hold onto my pride.
And, yes, I've had the time of my life;
It's hard to believe I'm at the end of the line.
Time flies when you're having fun;
My time here is over and done . . . c'est la vie!
The more things change the more they stay the same,
Been there; done that before.
I've come full circle so show me the door,
Same thing just a different name . . . it's time for a change.
So many faces I've had the pleasure to know,
Each one has touched my soul.
Some are here and some have come and gone,
I'll be thinking about them off and on . . . I can never forget.
Well, I know - it's time for me to go,
Cause I've been at this for a long, long time.
Yes, it's been good; it's been one helluva ride,
And now I know I'm at the end of the line . . . and I don't mind.
