[length: 03:21]
[00:05.51]I’m a-high steppin’, high bettin’
[00:08.82]Love givin’, I’m a-love gettin’
[00:11.13]I’m a stranger, I love stretchin’ out my wheels
[00:17.30]Overnightin’ on the desert strip
[00:20.38]Makin’ time and losin’ grip
[00:23.07]Drivin’ circles in the canyons of my mind
[00:27.96]I’m an outsider lookin’ in
[00:30.70]I got a perfect square for a circle of friends
[00:33.74]It’s the four of us against the rest of you
[00:39.75]But really I am all alone
[00:42.56]I’d sell ’em out to save my own
[00:45.30]I told them that, but they don’t buy the truth
[00:50.38]I’m a-high steppin’, high bettin’
[00:53.60]Love givin’, I’m a-love gettin’
[00:56.20]I’m a stranger, I love stretchin’ out my wheels
[01:02.17]Overnightin’ on the desert strip
[01:04.94]Makin’ time and losin’ grip
[01:07.99]Drivin’ circles in the canyons of my mind
[01:13.99]Well, it’s warfare out there, folks
[01:16.54]You’re either working for success
[01:18.00]Or to be rich, or God help us, famous
[01:21.56]Or you’re working against the clock just to stay afloat
[01:24.99]Gotcha nose all scraped up from the grindstone
[01:28.07]You’re digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones
[01:31.79]Meanwhile, it’s August and the tax man has never heard of summer vacation
[01:36.75]You’re either working on yourself or you’re lookin’ after babies
[01:39.70]Takin’ care of your old man or your old lady
[01:42.51]And the direct line to the hospital just says, “Leave a message”
[01:47.20]See, you can only live one day at a time
[01:49.41]Only drive one hot rod at a time
[01:51.63]Only can say one word at a time, and only think one thought at a time
[01:56.61]And every soul is alone when the day becomes night
[01:59.33]And there in the dark if you can try to see the light
[02:02.75]In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadow
[02:05.90]Well, then, you ought to sleep well ’cause there’s hope for sure
[02:11.02]Well, I don’t know about all that being true, but I do know this
[02:15.23]The best beggars are choosers
[02:17.96]The best winners are losers
[02:20.73]The best lovers ain’t never been loved
[02:26.46]And first place ain’t easy
[02:29.10]The hardest part is believing
[02:32.40]The very last word is love
[02:39.95]I’m a-high steppin’, high bettin’
[02:43.18]Love givin’, I’m a-love gettin’
[02:45.59]I’m a stranger, I love stretchin’ out my wheels
[02:51.96]Overnightin’ on the desert strip
[02:54.55]Makin’ time and losin’ grip
[02:57.45]Drivin’ circles in the canyons of my mind
