Little birdie whispered in my ear,
«You've been cooking up a world of fear
put your hands in things you should have known
you was riding in the danger zone»
Well you had us all fooled
With your quarterback smile and your crocodile tears
There for a while, my paradigm's shifting,
man you're making me shout:
Hey, from here from out friends are gonna be hard to come by
Left us wondering what it all was about
You had it easy man, you chose the hard way
To walk that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt
From here on out
Should our paths ever decide to cross,
You may wonder what the trouble cost
That don't matter now, life goes on
Hallelujah, the trouble's gone
No sense in holding grudges and it's better to forgive
These are things that I must learn
To practice while I live
But my paradigm's shifting, man you're making me shout
Hey, from here from out friends are gonna be hard to come by
Left us wondering what it all was about
You had it easy man, you chose the hard way
To walk that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt
Hey, from here on out
Let the bugle blow a song of peace time
Left us wondering what it all was about
You may deny it but you carry it with you
Down that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt
From here on out
