Time to take life in stages   Fireworks in July, pages turn    I’m doing it my own way   Until the year is done I will pray that      Something sent you my way   Take your coat off and stay for a little while   I’ll help you carry the load   So you don’t half to walk   Down that same old road      This is a new style of life   Leaves fall in October, stages burn   I’m doing it my own way   As the winter brings cold    I will pray that       Something sent you my way   Take your coat off and stay for a little while   I’ll help you carry the load   So you don’t half to walk   Down that same old road      I can’t explain this to you   I can’t explain how I feel now   Just don’t run away,   Don’t run away when I scream      Time to take life in stages   Fireworks in July, pages turn    I’m doing it my own way   Until the year is done I will pray that      Something sent you my way   Take your coat off and stay for a little while   I’ll help you carry the load   So you don’t half to walk   Down that same old road      That Same Old Road x3
