lyrics

He's a little short of breath and a little short of bread,
Quite a few of his friends these days are dead.
There's been a few bumps along the road
The odd wrong turning and his pace has slowed
But he kept his eyes on the way ahead.

She's been a little more married than she'd advise
She always ends up with the wrong kind of guys.
'Though she'll admit she's not much of a picker
With the help of her friends and a little strong liquor
She's still got that light in her eyes.

And we're still searching for that heart of gold
In the windmills of our mind
We're still singing lie-la-lie-la-lie-lie-lie
And looking for the home we hope we'll find.

Some have gone too fast, some too slow
Some aimed too high, some fell too low
Most of them shed a few ideals
And kept on truckin' though they'd lost their wheels
They were always the last to know.

Once they were the children of the sun
Making love not war, forever young.
As the years grow dim over their shoulder
They didn't grow wise as they grew older
But their song is still being sung.
Chorus.

The times are a-changin', we used to say
It was true back then and it's true today
So let's sing a song of celebration
For my g-g-g-generation
Before we all f-f-fade away
Chorus.
