Ooh baby don't be sad
The times that we had weren't all that bad
But sugar honey don't you cry
You'll forget me in the blink of an eye
Yesterday and the day before
Regrets you keep from a life before
And who knows what tomorrow brings
Leave it to chance and better things
But now it's time to get to where you're goin'
Cuz the road cleared up when the river stopped a-flowin'
Don't let me hold you down any longer
What doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger
Every day you've got to soar
Through the hurt, the lies, and more
Now life is good, you're on your way
You're living the life, you're livin' the dream, the American way
It's been 18 years since our last dance
I lost you, you escaped my grasp
And you can blame me if you want
Just let me buy you one last shot
But now it's time to get to where you're goin'
Cuz the road cleared up when the river stopped a-flowin'
Don't let me hold you down any longer
What doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger
But now it's time to get to where you're goin'
Cuz the road cleared up when the river stopped a-flowin'
Don't let me hold you down any longer
What doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger
