That Time Is Gone

When you're standing on the first step of the bus
 And you're asking yourself what are you doing this for
 And you hand the man the ticket, find a place to sit
 Try to rest on a night headed North
 And you settle in your seat and your mind starts
 Tripping on what it is you may be running from
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 Watch the world go by outside the window
 As you lean against the greasy grey-green glass
 And you're trying to keep from sleeping
 So you're counting every moment that goes past
 'Cause you know when you sleep
 You just dream a lot all night long
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 Every truck that passes, every cactus
 Every bird is freer than you now
 You got nothing holding you back, nothing tying you down
 Freer than the law allows
 And there's no going back to go back to
 One more time all that finished with and done
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 Reading your magazine, wishing you were anywhere but here
 Wishing you had anything to show, a note, a sign
 A flower, a pick, a laugh, a beer
 And what you fear you have become has become
 Exactly what you feared
 Oh, you better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is here
 Oh, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
 Oh, that time is gone
 That time is gone
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 That time is gone
 You better wake up, wake up, wake up
 That time is gone
 Oh, you better wake up, wake up, wake up
