SMELL THE ROSES
IF I BELIEVE I'M AT THE END
THE SAME GHOST HAUNTS ME
RETURNS AN' TAUNTS ME
AN' WHEN I THINK I HAVE IT MADE
IT COMES UP BEHIND ME TO REMIND ME
FIRES ARE BURNIN' WHEELS TURNIN'
I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN
GONNA STOP ALONG THE WAY AND SMELL THE ROSES
IF I FEEL I'M ON SOLID GROUND
THE NOTION TAKES ME
GRABS HOLD AN' SHAKES ME
AN' WHEN I THINK I'M ON A ROLL
YOU CAN BET NO DON'T FORGET
WINDS ARE BLOWIN' RIVERS FLOWIN'
ALTHO' I STILL HAVE MILES TO GO
GONNA STOP ALONG THE WAY AND SMELL THE ROSES
ALL WORK AN' NO PLAY
NINE TO FIVE CAN TAKE ITS TOLL
BREAK YOUR HEART
AN' KILL YOUR SOUL
IF I BELIEVE I'M AT THE END
THE SAME GHOST HAUNTS ME
RETURNS AN' TAUNTS ME
AN' WHEN I THINK I HAVE IT MADE
IT COMES UP BEHIND ME TO REMIND ME
FIRES ARE BURNIN' WHEELS TURNIN'
I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN
GONNA STOP ALONG THE WAY AND SMELL THE ROSES
ALL WORK AN' NO PLAY
NINE TO FIVE CAN TAKE ITS TOLL
BREAK YOUR POOR OLD HEART
AN' KILL YOUR SOUL
IF I FEEL I'M ON SOLID GROUND
THE NOTION TAKES ME
GRABS HOLD AN' SHAKES ME
AN' WHEN I THINK I'M ON A ROLL
YOU CAN BET NO DON'T FORGET
WINDS ARE BLOWIN' RIVERS FLOWIN'
THO' I STILL HAVE MANY MILES TO GO
GONNA STOP ALONG THE WAY AND SMELL THE ROSES
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND I'M PUSHING UP THE DAISIES
