I hate to tell you this, but I'm very, very happy
|
And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all
|
I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully
|
I always wanted to take it to the wall
|
|
But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas
|
I found an angel with the golden wings
|
She saw me down here in the dark somehow
|
And everything is different now
|
|
Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes
|
And the wild, wild nights of running
|
You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long
|
You go around in circles that just keep getting smaller
|
You wake up one morning and half your life is gone
|
I got so tired of that; I got so lonely
|
I dropped down and I called out to heaven
|
"Send me someone to love."
|
And heaven shot back, "You get the love that you allow."
|
And everything is different now
|
|
Oh, and it's sweet to know
|
The wisdom that living brings
|
Since I got a telegram from the god of simple things
|
|
She said, "I don't care what you do for a living."
|
She said, "I don't care what kind of car you drive."
|
"All I want to know right now is what do you believe in
|
And what it means to you to be alive
|
Will you stand here in this fire with me?
|
Are you ready for another life?"
|
So I bit that bullet and I took that vow
|
And everything is different now
|
Everything is different now
|

Everything Is Different Now
