Rambling out of the wild west Leaving the towns I love best Thought I'd seen some ups and down 'Till I come into New York town People going down to the ground Building going up to the sky Wintertime in New York town The wind blowing snow around Walk

Into the ground Beating me, beating me Falling away from me (Falling away from me) Beating me down Screaming so sound It's spinning round and round Hey I'm feeling tired

Into heavenly light heavenly light We don't gotta laugh out loud We broke the code We've seen it now We don't gotta touch the ground They're comin' with the Heavenly light heavenly light

We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh oh oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stompin' on the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it (Raised on it)

We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh oh oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stomping on the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it

And I will wait, I will wait for you Wait for now And I'll kneel down Know my ground 'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you Well I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust

We stayed up all night long Made our drinks too strong Feeling ten feet tall Ropes swinging into the water In the middle of the night Like oh oh oh oh oh Breaking our boots in Stompin' on the ground we grew up on Yeah, we were raised on it (Raised on it)

Late nights in the city, causin' hell Burn this bitch into the ground, oh well If all we got tonight, let's do this right Let's do this right Let's go to (paradise) When you right here, I come alive One more hit and we can fly This shit feel like

And now all I can do is smile And fade into the background I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background She looks so good in that white dress At the far end of the aisle Standing where I should be standing Some other man on his face there's

Leaving the ground When I'm with you To hold them down Slip into your skin and spend the night And get out of mine Walking the streets in dark Where lamps are the sunshine for the trees Oh for the trees cause everybody needs somebody
