"Where Did It Go?" by Chad Mackey

There's an old man with a cigarette in his hand
Thinking 'bout his ex-wife and his life long plan
He wonders when it all slipped through his hands
He'll never get the chance to be the man he wanted to be
I thought to myself you know it wont be me
Better open my eyes while I'm young and I can see

CHORUS:
Where did it go?
Where did it go?

He never got to make it to the promise land
He, him, and himself were his only friends
He knows it wont be long 'til he faces sand
He never got the chance to be the man he wanted to be
I thought to myself you know it wont be me
I don't want to be like that and questioning, everything

CHORUS:

I thought to myself you know that wont be me
I feel for this man who is sitting there suffering, how can it be?

CHORUS:

I wonder if he knows he taught me the lesson of my life
Does he know? Does he know?
I wonder if he knows he taught me the lesson of my life
Does he know? Does he know? Does he know?
