Dan Fogelberg - These Days lyrics

I used to think of myself as a soldier

Holding his own against impossible odds

Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire of devils and gods.

All I ever wanted to be was free

All I ever wanted to see was within my eyes to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

These days

Are just like you and me.

You used to be something I could believe in

How could you let me forsake myself so,

You used to think of your life as a riddle with no answer known.

All you ever wanted to be was free

All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

These days

Are just like you and me

We used to live like there was no tomorrow

Tasting our trials a day at a time

Laughing at sorrow and crying for justice such innocent crimes.

All we ever wanted to be was free

All we ever looked for was what was within our eyes to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

These days are just like you and me

Just like you and me.

You know they're just like you and me.
