THE YEARS YOU GET
Written by David Poe. ©2022 Charming Martyr Music (BMI.) From the album EVERYONE'S GOT A CAMERA
The years you get
You get to learn
Where to sleep
And what can burn
And how to hang on to a world that turns
With all these people
You never met
But in the years you get
You will go far
See the ocean and the moon and the star
Drive someone crazy
You’ll drive a car
And dance on the bar
Not just yet,
But in the years you get
Some don’t last too long
Some get more than others
Some are weak and some are strong
All are sisters and brothers
The years you get
And then you go
Leave the dirt and the sun and the snow
And the ones who love you more than you know
‘Cause you took a shot
In the years you got
And they won’t forget
For Annika
