Lyric Facts Of Life

These are the golden years
When people do what they want
And you can be one of them
Cause you re old enough to burn

So you earn your star, you run from the pack
Sell the clothes from off of your back
And you ll go far, you ll never look back
Your dreams can never die

Welcome to the facts of life

Life on the edge of town
No one could get near you
But one day you call to them
When they find you where it hurts

You can fall so far you never come up
All you ve got is never enough
And just one word can make it so tough
Your dreams were not so wise

You re runnin through the facts of life

Oh you re runnin from the facts of life
Oh you re runnin from the facts of life
Oh you re runnin from the facts of life
Oh you re runnin from the facts of life

The first time I saw you
You were untouchable
You walked on the poet s heels
No one could deny you

Now you re lookin for better things
Someone to get close to
A song everybody knows
When you find out what it s worth

And you come so far you ll never turn back
The stones they throw, they roll off your back
They make it hard, you like it like that
Your dreams will never die

When you go so far you ll never turn back
The stones they throw, you throw em right back
They play so hard, you like it like that
Our dreams become our lives
No more runnin from the facts of life

No more runnin from the facts of life
No more runnin from the facts of life
No more runnin
No more runnin
No more runnin from the facts of life
