i\'m ridin\' in the back seat - nine years old
starin\' out the window countin\' the highway poles
and then i get to thinkin\' - that it don\'t seem real
i\'m flyin\' through the universe in a \'69 oldsmobile
Припев:
and i wanna know what they\'re not tellin\'
and i don\'t wanna hear no lies
i just want something to believe in
ah it\'s a lonely lonely road i\'m on
this side of paradise
i\'m ridin\' in the back seat - black limousine
starin\' out the window at a funeral scene
and then i get to thinkin\' - and it don\'t seem right
i\'m sittin\' here safe and sound and someone i love is gone tonight
Припев
there ain\'t no crystal ball - there ain\'t no santa claus
there ain\'t no fairy tales - there ain\'t no streets of gold
there ain\'t no chosen few - ya it\'s just me and you
and that\'s all we got ya...that\'s all we got to hold on to
i remember bein\' a little boy in the backseat - nine years old
always askin\' questions - never did what I was told
and then i get to thinkin\' like i always do /
we wander \'round in the darkness but every now and then
a little light shines through
Припев
