Downhill from Bygones by Jerry Vanek

DOWNHILL


When I was a boy there was a little red bike
In the window of a store downtown
Well, I prayed and I waited and I anticipated
Finally my birthday came around

Well, everything worked out alright I suppose but
It didn't take long till the bloom was off the rose

When you finally get what you thought you wanted
You don't care as much as you thought you would care
When you finally reach the top of the mountain
It's all downhill from there

Like any young man with his hopes and his dreams
I had my heart set on a girl
Until the day I found her in the arms of a friend
I thought I was on top of the world

I guess it all turned out ok in the end but
I still lost myself a woman and a friend

When you've finally got what you thought you needed
After all that you find that it just don't compare
When you finally reach the top of the mountain
It's all downhill from there

Yeah, it's all downhill – it's all downhill from there
When you finally reach the top of a mountain
It's all downhill from there
When you finally reach the top of the mountain
It's all downhill from there, yeah
It's all downhill from there
