Just another pure heart
A wide open mind
Drifting like a coke on a sea of dreams
Playing the schoolboy
Making believe
Dying to fill the shoes The really big shoes for the TV screams
Standing on the sidelines When I was a kid
Talking about the heroes and the war Living on the front lines
Wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed
Dedicated, upstart entourage In the garage
Four crazy juveniles Burning up the midnight miles
The gigs,
the jukebox,
guinea pigs Spending our prime
Hey man,
honky tonk women, just do one more time
Standing on the sidelines When I was a kid
Talking about the heroes and the war Living on the front lines
Wasn't quite the same Something deep inside of me remained
Took a ride on the wild wind
And lost myself some old friends
Don't ask me now if I'll do it again Do it again,
do it again
Standing on the sidelines When I was a kid
Talking about the heroes and the war
Living on the front lines
Wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed
Living on the front lines Wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me remained
