After All These Years Lyrics

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off my colors for a while
And just kick back and sing some blues
Instead of living them like I do
After all these years of our running wild

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off for South Texas for a while
And look up some of my old friend
And try to make amends

After all these years of our running wild
And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off my old leathers for a while
And with this life I live
Turn it over and forgive

After all these years of our running wild
And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams

And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams
We die in our dreams

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off my colors for a while
And just kick back and sing some blues
Instead of living them like I do
After all these years of our running wild

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off for South Texas for a while
And look up some of my old friend
And try to make amends

After all these years of our running wild
And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams

After all these years of our running wild
I believe I'll take off my old leathers for a while
And with this life I live
Turn it over and forgive

After all these years of our running wild
And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams

And I suppose I fall somewhere in between
A lost soul and a romantic who believes
That if we live in forgiveness
We die in our dreams
We die in our dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
