Two, one-two-three-four Johnny's in the drive and he's drinkin' again Rough crowd downtown, but they're all my friends By the end of the night, I won't recall my name Well my Levi jean queen, I've been here all night, see Someday, I'll take you somewhere it never rains But for right now, I'm tearin' down this town How being young is so painful and strange Deborah's on the bar and she's dancin' again To an old folk song that reminds her of him She ain't gettin' down 'til they carry her away She was his Levi jean queen, but he's long gone now, see At the end of the night, she'll get choked up by his name And she'll try her best just to let him go Well, she's sick and tired of his rough and younger ways Lettin' go, movin' on, keepin' strong and findin' God I find it awfully odd we made it here A few good friends on the longest night, gettin' high until we cry Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years And now I'm drunk and walkin' home all alone, my honey Lookin' for a better place to spend my money Like takin' my Levi jean queen to see the stars Tougher than a lover and leaner than a fighter Looks to me, we got another all-nighter I think God put us exactly where we are Lettin' go, movin' on, keepin' strong and findin' God I find it awfully odd we made it here A few good friends on the longest night, gettin' high until we cry Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years Enjoyin' all the pain of younger years Well, Johnny's in the drive, and he's drinking again Rough crowd downtown but they're all my friends By the end of the night, I won't recall my name

Above the plains of Omaha I think of all the sufferin' I saw The soakin' of the pavement Sprawled upon a land without a law Everythin' I loved Everythin' I found or I hoped for Frightened and surrounded Who else is there to turn to anymore? Oh, I held out my arms Oh, I held out my arms Held out my arms There was a time I spoke the truth But my younger years were wasted on my youth Somewhere I awakened With a crack to a pounding on the roof Sure I heard the sound As evidence, or better yet as proof I was naked as the day I was born 'Neath the fullness of the moon Oh, I held out my arms Oh, I held out my arms Held out my arms Far away I hear singin' Far away a song The blinding light of morning came Flooding through the window like a friend Like a wild revelation Like a shining invitation to attend Spoken as a prayer Unbroken by despair I make amends The love inside our hearts Is the only kind of savior we've been sent Oh, I held out my arms Oh, I held out my arms Held out my arms

My life's going backwards No plan for disaster Lost looking for the answers I act tough but I got hurt My words turn to daggers Falling back into patterns yeah It doesn't matter now, I'm spinning out, upside down I wanna runaway My minds been sick for months Bottles of chardonnay Poured into sippy cups And I don't know why Something ain't right When the going gets rough It's like we're going back in time And I just don't know who to trust I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold It's all getting tougher I can barely recover I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold I'm goin' under Cuz I'm getting younger As I'm getting old Wrong turn and I got lost Had it all and then it dropped off Thought I could deal with it, thought I could take the hit But now I'm left here in the dust Now I'm tilted Feel so distant Life is shifting and I don't know why I wanna runaway My minds been sick for months Bottles of chardonnay Poured into sippy cups And I don't know why Something ain't right When the going gets rough It's like we're going back in time And I just don't know who to trust I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold It's all getting tougher I can barely recover I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold I'm goin' under Cuz I'm getting younger As I'm getting old

Time is slipping through our fingers Slowly, we're running out Sun is setting on the horizon Quickly, we're running out Of daylight, I wonder Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? In the daylight, I wonder Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger, younger, a-a-a We keep dreaming, city sleeping Slowly, we're running out Clock is ticking and all these years keep passing I don't wanna leave this world with a bitter taste In the daylight, I wonder Will we take flight (take flight) upon the (upon the) Starry night into the unknown? In the daylight (daylight), I wonder (I wonder) Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger, younger What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had?

We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger

If you dance, I'll dance And if you don't, I'll dance anyway Give peace a chance Let the fear you have fall away (I've got my eyes on you) I've got my eyes on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me If you go, I'll stay (I'll stay) When you come back, I'll be right here Like a barge at sea In the storm, I just stay clear (I've got my mind on you) I've got my mind on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me If you dance, I'll dance I'll put my black dress on again If you fight, I'll fight It doesn't matter, now it's all gone (And I've got my mind on you) And I've got my mind on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me (I've got my eyes on you) I've got my eyes on you (I've got my eyes on you) (I've got my mind on you) (I've got my mind on you) (I've got my mind) I've got my eyes on you

In the town where I was born Right across from that old church Used to keep my eye on Mary While she'd shine behind the birds Now the moon is in that window And the glow has hit you right Like a cigarette crushed in my pocket Waiting for a chance to light 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around Up ahead is the old skate park Where I used to run around Couldn't ride for shit to save my life I'd pretend if you were around But now the dogs are getting called to And the kids are running up the drive Honey, we got nowhere we need to be At least not for tonight 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around And you can call me old-fashioned But how did I never think of this until now? This house is all we've seen for days and days Why don't we go and drive around? 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around
