Warren Zevon - Back In The Highlife Lyrics

Lyrics Back In The Highlife - Warren Zevon




It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
When you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
In the brighter part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
Oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
You used to be the best
Make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
Have ourselves a time
And we'll dance 'til the morning sun
And let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done
And we're back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
Have the world so easily
And we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
Back in the high life again
