Story Behind The Song
I had just won a Wall Street Journal songwriting contest for a city theme song: "You'll Feel Wichita" and was working on a film, feeling mighty high.
Song Description
After much workin', prayin' and layin' low the High times have arrived. It's perfect for a group so they can trade off verses and come together on "Haven't we all"

Lyrics
High Time
Been waitin'
For a time like this
That could push every button
And end with a kiss
Waitin'
For a long time
Haven't we all
Been playin'
Kinda hard for this
Prayin' every mornin'
It's high time this 'll
Be the right time
For a long time
Haven't we all
High time
I have been tryin'
For high times
Pie-in-the-skyin'
Dreamin' up easy ways
To come up
With better days
It's high time
High time
High time
Been layin'
Kinda low for this
Fingers in my pockets
'Til I know that this
Is the right time
For a lone time
Haven't we all
Been stayin'
Hangin' on for this
Workin' every mornin'
Getting' up so this 'll
Be the right time
For a long time
Haven't we all
High time
I have been cryin'
For high times
Tryin' and tryin'
Dreamin' up easy ways
To come up
With better days
It's high time
High time
High time
Been prayin'
High and low for this
Payin' as I go
So I know that this time
Is my time
For a long long time
-Maybe the rest of time-
-No I'm not lyin'-
High time
For a long time
Haven't we all
High time
Aren't we all tryin'
For high times
Pie-in-the-skyin'
Dreamin' up better ways
To come up
With brighter days
It's High time
High time
High tiME
