i’m ridin’ in the back seat – nine years old
starin’ out the window countin’ the highway poles
and then i get to thinkin’ – that it don’t seem real
i’m flyin’ through the universe in a ’69 oldsmobile
Припев:
A E A/C# D9/A
and i wanna know what they’re not tellin’
and i don’t wanna hear no lies
i just want something to believe in
E A/C# D9/A D9/A E
ah it’s a lonely lonely road i’m on
D9/A E
this side of paradise
i’m ridin’ in the back seat – black limousine
starin’ out the window at a funeral scene
and then i get to thinkin’ – and it don’t seem right
i’m sittin’ here safe and sound and someone i love is gone tonight
Припев
D9/A A
there ain’t no crystal ball – there ain’t no santa claus
there ain’t no fairy tales – there ain’t no streets of gold
there ain’t no chosen few – ya it’s just me and you
D9/A E A
and that’s all we got ya…that’s all we got to hold on to
i remember bein’ a little boy in the backseat – nine years old
always askin’ questions – never did what I was told
and then i get to thinkin’ like i always do /
we wander ’round in the darkness but every now and then
a little light shines through
Припев
