It used to seem to me

That my life ran on too fast

And I had to take it slowly

Just to make the good parts last

But when you're born to run

It's so hard to just slow down

So don't be surprised to see me

Back in that bright part of town



I'll be back in the high life again

All the doors I closed one time will open up again

I'll be back in the high life again

All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free

Let the world back into me

And on I'll be a sight to see

Back in the high life again



You used to be the best

To make life be life to me

And I hope that you're still out there

And you're like you used to be

We'll have ourselves a time

And we'll dance 'til the morning sun

And we'll let the good times come in

And we won't stop 'til we're done



We'll be back in the high life again

All the doors I closed one time will open up again

We'll be back in the high life again

All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free

And have the world so easily

And oh we'll be a sight to see

Back in the high life again



We'll be back in the high life again

All the doors I closed one time will open up again

We'll be back in the high life again

All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free

And have the world so easily

And oh we'll be a sight to see

Back in the high life again
