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
