[Verse 1]
When paradise called, I was sweet on the weather
I ain't ever been far, just got used to the cold
And I learned how to drink with them boys from the desert
At nineteen years old, and now I'm lookin' for gold
[Chorus]
And there comes a day when you've gotta recognize
Them times, they've gotta change
And the world, it don't give a damn
If you're okay
But anyway
Anyway
[Verse 2]
There once was a time when I wanted to die
In over my head in a place I don't know
A hotel floor with my hand full of white
And a voice on the line said to come back home
[Chorus]
And there comes a day when you gotta recognize
Them times, they've gotta change
And the world, it don't give a damn
If you're okay
But anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
[Verse 3]
But I spent all my money, I mean all of my money
No I don't have a lot, but now I know
A wife and a kid, and a heart full of love
No it don't take much to call it a home
[Chorus]
And there comes a day when you've gotta recognize
Them times, they've gotta change
And the world, it don't give a damn
If you're okay
But anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
