It seems like it was maybe only yesterday
My mom would take me to the park and I would play
She'd say "it's time to go" and I would cry "let's stay"
But she'd promise we'd return again another day
The next thing I remember I was sailing the seas
We could take on the world, my friends and me
I thought I'd see everything there was to see
But I still didn't know what I was supposed to be
You can't always take the road less traveled
As the threads of your life become unraveled
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years...
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
A lot of years slipped away without my attention
While I was doing things I probably shouldn't mention
A pound of cure is all we have when there's no prevention
And now it won't be long 'til I collect a pension
You can't always take the road less traveled
As the threads of your life become unraveled
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years...
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
Now I'm winding down for my final rest
Wondering if I ever even passed the test
I was very far from perfect, but I did my best
Now there's one more thing to say before I end my quest
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years...
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
Where did they all go? Where did they all go?
I really gotta know, where did they all go?
Where did it all go? Where did it all go?
I need a little more time, where did it all go?
