There's a place in the woods right down by the river
Nobody's been there but me and the deer
It's the place I go whenever I'm lonely
Too many times for too many years
-
I made it mine when I was ten years old
I built that fort when it was freezing cold
There used to be a pear tree right over there
But I guess it got too old
-
And I used to believe every dream came true
As I grew into a man
But I'm learning the truth of the life we live
You just do the best that you can
-
Livin' this life - learnin' 'bout love
So many heartbreaks - So many tears
Livin' this life - learnin' 'bout lonely
Too many times for too many years
-
You'll always remember - your first love
But sometimes love - it comes - it goes
But somewhere someday - you'll find that one
Take it from me - I know
-
You wonder too - barely ten years old
Why is life that way
Even though every dream of yours won't come true
Believe it or not - some do
-
Livin' this life - learnin' 'bout love
So many heartbreaks - so many tears
Livin' this life - learnin' 'bout lonely
Too many times for too many years
