I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen   No more school, my own car   Back then it was all a dream   Then came the day to say goodbye   To the room that was once mine   One last look at my old world then   I closed the door behind, to      Yesterday, everything was easy   Livin' life like there was no tomorrow   Now everyday memories still remind me   How good things used to be yesterday      Well thirty-five soon rolled around   And everything had changed   I could count friends on one hand and   The good times weren't the same   But finally I cam to understand why people say   Don't spend all your childhood wishin'   The best years away      Yesterday, everything was easy   Livin' life like there was no tomorrow   Now everyday memories still remind me   How good things used to be yesterday      Now I'm longin' for the freedom   That I let slip away I took it all for granted   Now it's gone like yesterday      Yesterday, everything was easy   Livin' life like there was no tomorrow   Now everyday memories still remind me   How good things used to be, yesterday      When everything was easy   Livin' life like there was no tomorrow   Now everyday memories still remind me   How good things used to be yesterday   Remembering all those years, yesterday
