Lyrics:
Money changes hands then everything changes,
I bet you didn’t know 
That chainstore there was a famous jazz club just 3 years ago.
Now the skyline is different and there’s strangers everywhere.
I grew up in this town she don’t know me anymore 
And I wonder why I’m still here.

Sign your name on the wall
Under a line that’s funny and true.
So they know you were here too.
Sign your name on the wall,
Yeah, that’s all that you can do.

They say life is too short but what if it’s long
You’ve got to prepare for that too.
But you never thought you would live this long
And now you don’t know what to do.
But it’s too late to change horses now,
You’ll have to stay the course.
You’ve earned hair of silver and a heart of gold 
And the right to make some noise.

Sign your name on the wall
Under a line that’s funny and true.
So they know you were here too.
Sign your name on the wall,
Yeah, that’s all that you can do.

I still remember the way it was before the flood.
And it’s still here if you look real hard.
There’s still a diamond in the rough.

There’s losers and winners, saints and sinners, some refuse to play the game.
I hold on to the good and leave the rest and try to do right by my old man.
There’s an angel in white on my left shoulder keeping me in line
When that red one on the right tries to bend my ear and poison my gentle mind.

Sign your name on the wall
Under a line that’s funny and true.
So they know you were here too.
Sign your name on the wall,
Yeah, that’s all that you can do.
