Since I turned 24 around 50 years ago, I’m happy to report that that there have been plenty of good days since then…

lyrics

Sometimes I miss those other places where my lifestyle has been forged
I might even miss this town when I've moved on
Though I'm just turned 24, right now I'm feeling so much more
When I get this weary feeling that the best days are gone
The best days are gone

Other times I felt so low and wanted what was lost
Are hidden in a mist of golden days
But mostly I was happy, though I didn't know it then
Such strange tricks that hindsight plays
Tricks that hindsight plays

Nothing's as it seems to be, there's no one I can trust
I want to wake and find myself a million years away
And more than once or twice when just living wore me down
I've wished I had the nerve to split and drift with the highway
And drift with the highway

There are names that I remember, many more that I forget
All the girls I never had, too many that I lost
One or two could make me cry at midnight all alone
But when you go I think I'll miss you most
And now you're gone, Lord knows I miss you most
