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 the bright part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
Yes, 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, oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
I 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 till morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop till we're done
And I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
Yes, 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, oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
Yes, I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
Yes, 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, oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
Again
