Lyrics

[01:25.30] Julie's got the word today she lost her job just one last pay
[01:34.03] Life don't come easy anymore
[01:39.90] Still strugglin' on by herself got a picture of jimmy there on the shelf
[01:46.83]
[01:47.51] And she looks at him and says why did we let it go
[01:51.99] I know that sometimes baby we didn't see things eye-to-eye
[01:58.12]
[02:01.21] But i got just one question did we have to say goodbye?
[02:06.65]
[02:07.40] Just like prisioners in paradise
[02:10.52]
[02:12.27] Still far from heaven's door
[02:14.51]
[02:15.45] We had it all but still we wanted more
[02:19.75]
[02:22.50] Now i realize that i can't turn back the future here to stay
[02:28.40]
[02:30.83] But hey we're just children of tomorrow
[02:32.76]
[02:34.44] Hangin' on to yesterday
[02:36.82]
[02:50.57] Jimmy still recalls the night when he took his guitar and headed on out
[02:56.94]
[02:57.63] To find the big time that was his dream
[03:00.70]
[03:02.90] He gave up his past and made it alright
[03:06.47] But there's something missin' in his heart tonight
[03:09.48]
[03:10.86] Sometimes what you want ain't what you need
[03:14.29]
[03:14.85] He misses drivin' down to the lake at night
[03:19.90] Holdin' his baby in his arms so tight
[03:23.46]
[03:24.15] Ain' t it hard to find illusions when you're livin' in a memory
[03:29.14]
[03:31.57] Just like prisioners in paradise
[03:34.38]
[03:35.27] So close but yet so far
[03:37.95]
[03:38.53] There will come a time no matter who you are
[03:42.73]
[03:45.49] When you ask yourself was it right or wrong
[03:49.29] For me to turn away,
[03:51.23]
[03:52.85] But hey we're just children of tomorrow hangin' on to yesterday
