We never had two nickels to rub together
I never felt we were poor
But I remember the feeling that day
When they brought it through the door
A used Stingray bike, a Lemon Peeler
With five speeds
I lit out that front door with it
Yeah, I tore up those city streets
That old bike gave me freedom
Every time I'd go for a ride
Yeah, that bike was the spark
That lit that fire inside
Lord, I'd give anything tonight
To feel that fire inside
Lord, I'm not complaining 'bout my life
It's been one hell of a ride
I'm just missing my younger years
Back when life felt right
Lord, I'm just missing my younger days
When time was on my side
When those middle years came along
And a boy turned into a man
My first love hit like lightning
Nothing went as I planned
My heart got broke in two
More than once before I could find
A woman who could light that fire again
A fire that burned deep inside
We built a home from nothin'
Raised a family with loving care
Those Saturday morning cartoons on TV
Toys and cereal everywhere
Those years gave me enjoyment
My family filled me with pride
Lord, I miss those years now
And that fire that burned inside
Lord, I'd give anything tonight
To feel that fire inside
Lord, I'm not complaining 'bout my life
It's been one hell of a ride
I'm just missing my younger years
Back when life felt right
Lord, I'm just missing my younger days
When time was on my side
But the years keep rolling past me
Like a runaway train
Can't do the things I used to
All I can do now is complain
Oh, the world keeps changin' faster
Coming at me from every side
Lord, it seems that old fire I once had
