Well, a quarter in a fountain means that people still have dreams
And a token in a pocket means that people can come clean
So come on now, boy, don't you be afraid to start
'Cause sweat on your skin's better than regret on your heart

Well, the wrinkles on your face from regret-filled days
Your eyes tell the story of a place far away
And if you don't bleed now, you'll forever have to pay
You're not livin' 'less you're willin' to do some dyin' along the way

And if you can't see now, then you'll find out one day
When your hands are gettin' weak and you're fadin' away
Take these words here now and let 'em be your savin' grace
Ain't no better time than today

Take them hits on your sleeve and wear them proud
You're the only one around you that truly knows how, oh
Save them tears for a day where you'll need 'em
Like the times when you come home, not the times when you're leavin'

And if you can't see now, then you'll find out one day
When your hands are gettin' weak and you're fadin' away
Take these words here now and let 'em be your savin' grace
Ain't no better time than today

Well, if you can't see now, you'll find out one day
When your hands are gettin' weak and you're fadin' away
Take these words here now and let 'em be your savin' grace
Ain't no better time than today
