 LYRICS 1
Snowy  night, I'm headin'  home.
 An airport  bar, there you sat  all alone. I said:
"Hello, how  ya been?
God  girl it's sure  good to see you again"
 Remember (ah) Panama  City,
 you were fall  down drunk, but you still  looked pretty. We made
love  all night on the beach  that September,
 told my friends  it was great, but you still  can't remember, well...
 That was then,  this is now,
lookin'  back, I wouldn't change  it anyhow.
 This is now,  that was then,
Life  rolls on, we're still riding  against the wind.
 LYRICS 2
 As for me,
My  life's been up  and down. Playin'
night  to night, moving town  to town. You say you
had  a daughter, I got two  of my own, Their the
love  of my life, they sure  helped me grow up.
 I've seen  a few things, played for the troops  in Iraq.
 I've made  a few friends there that didn't  make it back. Yeah I've
danced  with the devil and cried  with the saints,
 I've put  it in words, so it isn't  all in vain.
 That was then,  this is now,
lookin'  back, I wouldn't change  it anyhow.
 This is now,  that was then,
Life  rolls on, we're still riding  against the wind.
 LYRICS 3
Some  days I'm smiling, some  days I'm sad.
Some  days I still wake  up fightin' mad.
Yeah,  there's a part of my, that  wants to go back.
Then  I remember, I'm good  right where I'm at.
 It's gettin'  late baby, so let's raise  a glass.
One  to the future and one  to the past. To those
photographs, pictures  of,
 the friends  we lost and here's  to the ones we love.
 That was then,  this is now,
lookin'  back, I wouldn't change  it anyhow.
 This is now,  that was then,
Life  rolls on, we're still riding  against the wind.
It's  alright, it's  OK,
yesterday's  gone, I'm living  for today.
It's  OK, It's  alright.
Somehow  we all made  it through the night.
Life  rolls on baby, and it's  rollin'
we're  still riding  against the wind.
It's  alright, it's  OK.
 I wouldn't it change  it anyway.
