Lately I been wastin' this hard, hard life
|
Seems like nothin' ever turns out right
|
The day's too short, the nights too long
|
Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong
|
Johnny got a job but it ain't no good
|
Nickels and dimes you know he never could
|
Seem to make it clean, I'm tellin' you
|
When the devil got your soul
|
There ain't much you can do
|
|
Now he prays for a light in the dark
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
You can tear the night down
|
And turn it inside out
|
|
Johnny looks around but all he sees
|
Is a tired old city livin' on its knees
|
Blue jean faces, fadin' fast
|
Backs are breaking but the hard times last
|
|
Now he prays for a light in the dark
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
You can tear the night down
|
And turn it inside out
|
You can tear the night down
|
|
Yesterdays....Johnny (Johnny, Johnny)
|
|
Johnny and me used to have a dream
|
If ya ran real fast, it'd set you free
|
So we kept on running, but our legs got tired
|
And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - Hey
|
|
To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
|
Now he prays for a light in the dark
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
|
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
|
You can tear the night down, you can tear the night down
|
You can tear the night down and turn it inside out
|
|
To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
