A little birdie whispered in my ear You've been cooking up a world of fear Put your hands in things you shouldn't have known You was riding in the danger zone Well you had us all fooled with your quarterback smile And your crocodile tears there for a while And my paradigm shifted, man you're making me shout Hey, from here from out Friends are gonna be hard to come by Left us wonderin' what it all was about He had it easy, man he chose the hard way Walk that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt From here on out Should our paths ever decide to cross You may wonder what the trouble cost That don't matter now, life goes on Hallelujah, the troubles' gone No sense in holding purpose and it's better to forgive These are things that I must learn, to practice while I live And my paradigm shifted, man you're making me shout Hey, from here from out Friends are gonna be hard to come by Left us wonderin' what it all was about He had it easy, man he chose the hard way Walk that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt Hey, from here on out Let the bugle blow a song of peace time Left us wonderin' what it all was about You may deny it but you carry it with you Down that old lonely road in the shadow of a doubt Yeah, from here on out
