Warren Zevon — Back in the High Life Again

[Verse 1] 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 But 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 [Chorus] And 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You used to be the best to make life be real to me And I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be We'll have ourselves a time and we'll dance 'til the morning sun We'll let the good times come in, we won't stop until we're done [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] And we'll drink and dance with one hand free Have the world so easily Oh, we'll be a sight to see Back in the high life [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Back in the high life
