  • I'm just a city boy
    But there's a small town side to me
    And I feel it closin' in

    Are we too blind to see
    That she's die-in' more each day
    And she's cryin' out to you and me

    Chance is comin' when thier gone
    They curse a fool who waits too long
    So lets take care of what we have
    Before the good we know goes bad
    And the beauty fades and just slips away

    The dirty air and the die-in' seas
    Will this be the world we leave
    To the wild and young
    And say just look at what we've done

    And right before our eyes
    Today's yesterday, could be tomorrow's goodbye

    Here comes the rain. it might wash her tears away
    But it doesn't change a thing
    Like my brother before me
    All I can do is write this song and for her I sing

    Chance is comin' when we're gone
    They carve in stone what we've done wrong
    So lets take care of what we have
    Before the good we know goes bad
    And the beauty fades and just slips away

    The dirty air and the die-in' seas
    Will this be the world we leave
    To the wild and young
    And say just look at what we've done

    And right before our eyes
    Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye

    Do you ever think about the future or the past
    Do you ever wonder how long this world will last

    So let's take care of what we have
    Before the good we know goes bad
    And the beauty fades and just slips away

    The dirty air and the die-in' seas
    Will this be the world we leave
    To the wild and young
    And say just look at what we've done

    And right before our eyes
    Now it's right before our eyes
    Today's yesterday, will be tomorrow's goodbye Writer/s: GARY ROBERT ROSSINGTON, GARY SCOTT BURR, HUGHIE THOMASSON, JOHNNY ROY VAN ZANT, RICK MEDLOCK
