| Sailin' down my life so fast
|
| And someone seen me zippin' past
|
| And reachin' out they took my hand
|
| And made a move to slow me
|
| Speakin' words, an angel’s voice
|
| And I replied, «I got no choice
|
| And you, you’re from some other world
|
| And babe, you just don’t know me»
|
| And it’s one short year gone by
|
| Sad, I’ve made her cry, sweet baby
|
| I never meant to play that part
|
| I never meant to even start
|
| I was thinkin' 'bout some plans I’d made
|
| And there she was beside me
|
| She looked up and then we kissed
|
| And somethin' there said «don't resist»
|
| And that was late that summer night
|
| I don’t know why she tried me
|
| (REPEAT CHORUS)
|
| BRIDGE
|
| Darlin', your sweet touch
|
| Well, I’ve never shared so much
|
| Little baby, this life’s on fire
|
| It’s burnin' and screaming higher
|
| Got to get some time alone
|
| I’m just outside the danger zone
|
| There’s people all around me now
|
| And I don’t know what I’m thinkin'
|
| I went down a ways from here
|
| And kids were dancin', drinkin' beer
|
| I was so much older there
|
| My spirit started sinkin'
|
| (REPEAT CHORUS)
|
| Tryna keep my life insane
|
| And keep my mind inside the rain
|
| And see the false securities
|
| And understand the highway
|
| Made a lotta stupid moves
|
| I’ve always got some point to prove
|
| I ain’t exactly all that nice
|
| I’ve got to do it my way
|
| (REPEAT CHORUS)
|
| (REPEAT BRIDGE)
