But there ain't no time to waste
I've buried half my life under the lights
And I've barely got a taste
But now I know what Willie's sayin'
When he's singing "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"
But it ain't no time to frown
How this city loves to bait me
And the feedings finally brought me down
But I believe I'm coming round
And now I know what Kris is sayin'
When he's singing "Sunday Morning Comin' Down"
With my head hanging down
Just like I knew it would
And I can feel it in my bones
I've buried half my life within the sounds
And I believe I'm on my own
But now I know what Jim is sayin'
When he's singing "New York's Not My Home"
With my head hanging down
Just like I knew it would
But I can't help but wonder
What it was I didn't know
