Lyrics

High and Dry


When I get old and time goes by, I tell the world one big lie
Stretch the truth and make it real. Make my life one big deal
How I ran for President, and I became a king instead.
I changed my mind and changed the world, took the gold and left the girl?.

High and dry
I can?t look back now I?m too young for suicide, suicide

Down and out with no regrets, took a chance and lost a bet
Broke a dollar and spent a dime going back just one more time
I live my life like I got no past; I?ve got my radio on full blast.
Turn it up with the windows down; I can?t break even when I leave this town

High and dry
I can?t look back now I?m too young for suicide, suicide

Now that I?m old and gray, looking back the other way
Wish I didn?t do the things I did, I miss my wife and my kid
Memories of a photograph, tossed away, torn in half
All the people walking through my life, I never should have left them all behind

High and dry
I can?t look back now I?m too old for suicide, suicide
