Tattered Jeans – Mark Krowiak and Phil Klahn
When the grand design is over
and the stone is laid
All you get is so much older
and hollow victories for the side you played
While I'm holding out for bigger things
Life proceeds and yet it seems
In the end, for all that progress brings
All I have is these tattered jeans
For time and time again, time takes its toll
The knees are always the first to go
In tattered jeans and dusty dreams
of days gone by
Another day, another spin
Strangers on familiar roads
Count your blessings or count your sins
and hang on tight until it's time to go
For time and time again, time takes its toll
The knees are always the first to go
In tattered jeans and dusty dreams
of days gone by
Tell me your faith is empty
Nothing can touch your soul (touch your soul)
Still you have this to cling to
Something that you just know (in the end)
You just know
When the grand design is over
And the debt is paid
I had plans and dreams discovered
And like these jeans I thought they'd never fade
For time and time again, time takes its toll
The heart is always the last to know
In tattered jeans and dusty dreams
of days gone by
