Somewhere a band in a bistro
Is soothing a lazy old song
And, Joey, you're probably calling the waiter
To say that they're playing it wrong
Roaming the streets after classes
We talked about honor and fame
You wearing the cares of the world on your back
Like the badge from the varsity games
Was it so long ago?
If I knew the number I'd call
Joey, has life had a few good surprises for you
Since the days when we wanted it all?
How did we ever get older?
So crazy with nerve and despair?
Thrown with the rest to the worst and the best
And I'm glad that we had it to share
Maybe you're marching forever
Still wild with your heart on your sleeve
Denouncing the world to a cluster of girls
All eager to swear they believe
Was it so long ago?
Was it really the battle, it seemed?
Joey, the quest for the truth went along with my youth
And it's too late to live without dreams
Was it so long ago?
If I knew the number I'd call
Joey, has life had a few good surprises for you
Since the days when we wanted it all?
