High Steppin' |
I’m a-high steppin', high bettin' |
Love givin', I’m a-love gettin' |
I’m a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels |
Overnightin' on the desert strip |
Makin' time and losin' grip |
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind |
I’m an outsider lookin' in |
I got a perfect square for a circle of friends |
It’s the four of us against the rest of you |
But really I am all alone |
I’d sell 'em out to save my own |
I told them that but they don’t buy the truth |
I’m a-high steppin', high bettin' |
Love givin', I’m a-love gettin' |
I’m a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels |
Overnightin' on the desert strip |
Makin' time and losin' grip |
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind |
Well it’s warfare out there, folks |
You’re either working for success |
Or to be rich or, God help us, famous |
Or you’re working against the clock just to stay afloat |
Got your nose all scraped up from the grindstone |
You’re digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones |
Meanwhile it’s August and the tax man has never heard of summer vacation |
You’re either working on yourself or you’re lookin' after babies |
Takin' care of your old man or your old lady |
And the direct line to the hospital just says «Leave a message» |
See, you can only live one day at a time |
Only drive one hot rod at a time |
Only say one word at a time |
And only think one thought at a time |
And every soul is alone when the day becomes night |
And there in the dark if you can try to see the light |
In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadow |
Well then you ought to sleep well |
'Cause there’s hope for sure |
Well I don’t know about all that being true but |
I do know this: |
The best beggars are choosers |
The best winners are losers |
The best lovers ain’t never been loved |
And first place ain’t easy |
The hard part is believing |
The very last word is love |
I’m a-high steppin', high bettin' |
Love givin', I’m a-love gettin' |
I’m a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels |
Overnightin' on the desert strip |
Makin' time and losin' grip |
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind |
