[Intro]
A
[Chorus]
Or to be rich or, God help us, famous
You're digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones
Takin' care of your old man or your old lady
Only drive one hot rod at a time
And every soul is alone when the day becomes night
Well then you ought to sleep well
I do know this
[Verse 2]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wDheels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind
[Verse 1]
IA'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 yDou
EBut really I am all alone
I'd sell 'em out to save my own
I told them that but they don't buy the truAth
[Chorus]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my whDeels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind
[Interlude]
N.C.
Well it's warfare out there, folks You're either working for successN.C.
Or you're working against the clock just to stay afloat Got your nose all scraped up from the grindstoneN.C.
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 babiesN.C.
And the direct line to the hospital just says "Leave a message" See, you can only live one day at a timeN.C.
Only say one word at a time And only think one thought at a timeN.C.
And there in the dark if you can try to see the light In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadowN.C.
'Cause there's hope for sure Well I don't know about all that being true butDThe best beggars are cAhoosers
DThe best winners are lAosers
DThe best lovers aEin't never been loAved
DAnd first place ain't eAasy
DThe hard part is bAelieving
DThe very last word is lEove
[Chorus]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my whDeels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind
