Social Distortion - Reach For The Sky Lyrics






When I was young I was invincible,
I find myself now thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
its just the roll of the dice.

But the day may come when you've got something to lose,
and just when you think you're done paying dues
And you say to yourself, dear God what Have I done?
And hope its not too late 'cause tomorrow may never come.

[Chorus:]
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come

Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery
But baby right now, its just about you and me,
You can run you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die,
and I thank the Lord for the love I have found
and hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come.

[Chorus]

So if you please take this moment
Try if you can make it last
Don't think about no future and just forget about the past
and make it last.

[Chorus]

    Ladies, and gentlemen, my friends... Today i got my lab results. Now it seems to be clear that I defeated cancer. My friend passed away in November, His disease began with the same as mine.... And now i am listening to this song... before i got my results, after going to bed I always tought maybe tomorrow never come... i was terrified if i wake up tomorrow... and now i know i am healthy... but it is not the same again... i'm thinking i'm fucking up my life, because i drink all the time when i finish work... Please guys, enjoy every moment of your life, because may tomorrow never come...And dont follow those stupid things what i just started.

    Between Troy High School, Fullerton High School and El Dorado High School in the late 70s/early 80's, some of the most influential punk rock music came out of that area. Probably all within 10 miles of each other. It will never be lick that again. Still influencing the younger generation.

  19. S.... ....

    I saw them live last year in Vancouver, Canada, and this was the 1st song of the show.. perfect opener 🤘

  20. S.... N....

    1st. live band seen with my Bros. Placentia boys club, the stage was ply at about a foot and half. Good Times...

  21. N.... S....

    I thought it was just a good time, didn't know it was an omen.

    When I was young I was invincible,
    I found myself not thinking twice,
    I never thought about no future,
    It's just the roll of the dice,
    But the day may come,
    When you've got something to lose,
    And just when you think you're done paying dues,
    When you say to yourself
    Dear god, what have I done?
    I hope it's not too late because tomorrow,
    May never come,
    Reach for the sky 'cus tomorrow,
    May never come,
    Reach for the sky 'cus tomorrow,
    May never come,
    Yesterday is history,
    And tomorrow's a mystery,
    But being here right now,
    It's just about you and me,
    You can run, you can hide,
    Just like Bonnie and Clyde,
    Reach for the sky,
    Ain't never gonna die,
    And I thank the lord for the love that I have found,
    And hold you tight 'cause tomorrow,
    May never come,
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow,
    May never come,
    Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow,
    May never come,
    So if you please, take this moment,
    Try if you can to make it last,
    Don't think about the future,
    And just forget about the past,
    And make it last.

  74. j.... ....

  79. R.... N....

  80. R.... S....

    I found my first driver's license recently in a box of stuff in my attic. I was wearing a Social D t-shirt. Oh, nostalgia...

  84. J.... G....

    Still listening in 2019...

  85. R.... F....

    Social D music was there for me when nobody else was and recover from my addiction I'm 3 years clean now

    R.... F....

    Keep it up, life’s great from a different perspective ay?

    R.... F....

    I dont know how to word my question with out sounding like an ass. Please forgive. What is the method(?) or means to your soberity? Hopefully I worded it correctly.

    R.... F....

    @Ken Dac discipline and self control

    R.... F....

    @Jonathan Spier thank you. I shall try that

    R.... F....

    @Ken Dac doctors had me on oxycontin for years, had one withdrawal and went to my doc asking for a 1 month supply to get off them, took 3 weeks but I weaned myself down and had oxy to spare.

    To wean down, I would crush the pills and snort them, less bioavailability when taken that way. I'd just keep cutting doses in half every time I felt the need come on.

    On the third week I just tried to see how long i could go without any, so went 4 days with nothing and thought I had it kicked, so I partied one last time because waste is evil lol, and it's been about three years since. Doc gave me some hydrocodone for a knee injury and I've taken a few but I can't see myself ever enslaving myself to opiates again. Pain don't hurt! You got this!

  86. S.... ....

    The shield

  87. m.... g....

    Am i the only one here from the shield? I was watching it and i recognized that voice , i was like siiiiick !!!!

  88. c.... h....

    It's amazing to me that Social Distortion have been making music like this since 1978!!! Imagine how many bands wouldn't have existed if they hadn't been inspired by this band...

  89. N.... W....

    When I was a kid.. this song was on Midnight Club LA and I couldn’t stop listening to it! Glad I found it again all these years later.
