Well I woke up this mornin' it was drizzlin' rain Around the curve come a passenger train Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan Jimmy he's dead he's been a long time gone Been a long time gone a long time gone If you wanna get to heaven gotta D-I-E you

How are you still holding on? One day it's here and then it's gone On your own Through the eyes of someone else You and everybody else What's it all about You've felt this way for far too long Waiting for a change to come You know you're not the only one

We're all just dreamers Someday believers Will you, will you ever learn? No one really knows at all Will you ever learn you're not the only one? Everybody's got something to hide Every day we come along But it's coming anyway You can take the wall down

So come along, it wont be long 'Til we return happy Shut your eyes, there are no lies In this world we call sleep Tomorrow we'll be free Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say Turn

That was then This is now Take some time to come around All I want to do Is try again Show you how I know that it's all about Givin' attention to you I was a fool for way too long

Let me take you far away You'd like a holiday Longing for the sun you will come Exchange the cold days for the sun A good time and fun Exchange your troubles for some love Wherever you are To the island without name Longing for the sun be welcome

Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors Life's like a road that you travel on When there's one day

When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Waking light, it grew from the shadow Brace yourself to the morning low Night is gone, long way turning You've waited long enough to know Lay me down in waking

You can't get enough You think that all your time is used Too busy earnin' Just busy earnin' This busy earnin' So you come a long way But you'll never have me Never have things for a normal life It's time, too busy earnin'

Well I woke up this mornin' it was drizzlin' rain Around the curve come a passenger train Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan Jimmy he's dead he's been a long time gone Been a long time gone a long time gone If you wanna get to heaven gotta D-I-E you
