lyrics

My lot in life might only be a little
But a little bit might be a pot of gold
I like the thought of playing second fiddle
I like the view of me and you growing old
I know, sometimes it’s hard to catch your breath
The beaten path, it seems, has been beat to death
I’ll take the exit up ahead
Towards the distant lights of nowhere.

My favorite place just might be my backyard
My favorite faces never make the news.
How come the best songs never make the pop charts?
I guess a million dollars just can’t sing the blues
I know, sometimes this world’s a bit too bright
Sometimes it seems there’s not an honest face in sight
Sometimes I lie awake dreaming all night
Of the distant lights of nowhere.

They say faith’s a bit like walking on the water
A dream’s a bit like walking on the moon
Love is like the flowers that I bought her
She’s been sneezing like the devil all afternoon
Sometimes it’s hard to find the words
Sometimes making sense is like a flock of hummingbirds
Some things are better seen not heard
Like the distant lights of nowhere.
