Facts of Life Billy Squier

These are the golden years
When people get what they want
And you can be one of them
'Cause you're old enough to burn

So you earn your star--you run from the pack
Sell the clothes from off of your back
And you'll go far--you'll never look back
Your dreams can never die

Welcome to the facts of life

Life on the edge of town...
No one could get near you
But one day you call to them
When they find you where it hurts

You can fall so far you never come up
All you've got is never enough
And just one word can make it so tough
Your dreams were not so wise...

You're runnin' through the facts of life

Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
