## Lyrics
[verse]
You told me you were something special back in school
Said you saw right through me, called me nothing but a fool
Well the joke is on the calendar, the years have turned around
Funny how the tables spin without a single sound

[chorus]
Reelin' in the years, laughing at the past
Reelin' in the years, knew it wouldn't last
All the things you said to me are ashes in the wind
Reelin' in the years, and here we are again

[verse]
You said the world was yours to keep, said I would never learn
Now I'm reading letters that you never got to burn
Every word you tossed at me came back around somehow
Reelin' in the story, and I'm laughing now

[chorus]
Reelin' in the years, laughing at the past
Reelin' in the years, knew it wouldn't last
All the things you said to me are ashes in the wind
Reelin' in the years, and here we are again

[bridge]
The guitar's playing sly beneath a sky of gold
Every line you gave me is a story I re-told
Time has got a way of writing its own kind of joke
Reelin' in the years, savoring every stroke

[chorus]
Reelin' in the years, laughing at the past
Reelin' in the years, knew it wouldn't last
All the things you said to me are ashes in the wind
Reelin' in the years, and here we are again
