Dan Fogelberg Aspen - These Days Lyrics

I used to think of myself as
a soldier
Holding his own against
impossible odds
Badly outnumbered and
caught in a crossfire
Of devils and gods.

All I ever wanted to be was
free
All I ever wanted to see
was within my eyes to
see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me.

You used to be something
I could believe in
How could you let me
forsake myself so,
You used to think of your
life as a riddle
With no answer known.

All you ever wanted to be was
free
All you ever looked for
was what was within your sights to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me.

We used to live like
there was no tomorrow
Tasting our trials
a day at a time
Laughing at sorrow
and crying for justice
Such innocent crimes.

All we ever wanted to be was
free
All we ever looked for
was what was within
our eyes to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and
me
These days
Are just like you and me
Just like you and me.
You know they're just like
you and me.
