Snowy night, I'm headin' home.
   C                      D
An airport bar, there you sat all alone. I said:
G       Em
"Hello, how ya been?
C             D
God girl it's sure good to see you again"
G              Em
 Remember (ah) Panama City,
         C                        D
you were fall down drunk, but you still looked pretty. We made
G                     Em
love all night on the beach that September,
        C                             D
told my friends it was great, but you still can't remember, well...

G               D
 That was then,  this is now,
Em                       C
lookin' back, I wouldn't change it anyhow.
G             D
 This is now,  that was then,
Em                         C
Life rolls on, we're still riding against the wind.

As for me,
G              Em
My life's been up and down. Playin'
C                      D
night to night, moving town to town. You say you
G                     Em
had a daughter, I got two of my own, Their the
C                     D
love of my life, they sure helped me grow up.
     G                                 Em
I've seen a few things, played for the troops in Iraq.
     C                             D
I've made a few friends there that didn't make it back. Yeah I've
G                         Em
danced with the devil and cried with the saints,
     C                      D
I've put it in words, so it isn't all in vain.

G               D
 That was then,  this is now,
Em                       C
lookin' back, I wouldn't change it anyhow.
G             D
 This is now,  that was then,
Em                         C
Life rolls on, we're still riding against the wind.

G                      Em
Some days I'm smiling, some days I'm sad.
C                 D
Some days I still wake up fightin' mad.
G                           Em
Yeah, there's a part of my, that wants to go back.
C                    D
Then I remember, I'm good right where I'm at.
     G                           Em
It's gettin' late baby, so let's raise a glass.
C                     D
One to the future and one to the past. To those
G            Em
photographs, pictures of,
    C                   D
the friends we lost and here's to the ones we love.

G             D
It's alright, it's OK,
Em                    C
yesterday's gone, I'm living for today.
G        D
It's OK, It's alright.
G              D
Somehow we all made it through the night.
G                       D
Life rolls on baby, and it's rollin'
Em          C
we're still riding against the wind.
G             D
It's alright, it's OK.
              Em        C
I wouldn't it change it anyway.
