I’m going for the good life,
I’ve got to get away,
I’m going for the good life,
Nothing can make me stay,
I’ve seen dreams of green and yellow,
I watched them burn,
I’ve watched them mellow.

And I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

I’m going for the good life,
Gonna get me out of here,
I’m going for the good life,
Oh I ain’t got no fear,
I’ve been yearning for some new learning,
I got this feeling,
That I’m no longer dreaming.

Cos I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life.

These wings can’t stop flying,
See that break in the cloud,
Has got me feeling proud,
I found a place I got to get high in,
I’m doing everything I should,
I know that this has got to be good.

Now I know that I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Got to dance til the morning light,
Old midnight come a teasing,
And we always been tight,
She make time stand still,
Drinking whiskey,
Like the fool on the hill,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Put that laughter on my tab,
Bartender, please remember,
The good times that we had,
Oh there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Well there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Yeah goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Mmm goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

My heart is a suitcase,
Waiting to be packed,
My cares,
Are everywhere,
My hopes are sitting in the corner,
Waiting for the day,
A dream wanders over.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

My mind is a clutter,
I can’t clear up,
Too many choices in the way,
I stumble with all the best intention,
So open to,
A good suggestion.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

I remember,
The afternoons of make believe and
Music,
Oh how we’d sing and shout!
And I’m wondering,
How long before we’ll all be leaving,
Every time that I’m in your house.

I can hear it,
The symphony of pots and pans and
Father,
As quiet as a mouse,
Please forgive me,
The way that I still clitter clatter,
Every time that I’m in your house.

Guess it’s only,
Another four walls and a staircase,
I know,
It’s time that I got out,
But Mother,
Your voice is in the walls of this place,
Every time that I’m in your house.

I get lost,
On Memory Lane,
That old street,
Always the same,
Every time I’m passing by the place is ageing,
But it takes me back -
In time I travel,
Down that road my mind unravels,
Til I am lost,
On Memory Lane,
Finding myself again.

Too many journeys to remember,
Déjà vu is nothing new,
It could be summer or December,
Though I know where I am,
Guess I never looked hard,
At the back of my hand.

That’s why I’m lost,
On Memory Lane,
Trying to ignite,
Some old flame,
Every time I’m passing by the place keeps ageing,
Oh, but it takes me back -
In time I travel,
Down that road my mind unravels,
Til I am lost,
On Memory Lane,
Just finding myself,
Yeah I’m just finding myself,
I don’t need nobody else,
Gonna go find myself,
Find myself on Memory Lane.

First light in Mendoza,
I felt a little closer,
When I called you on a telephone card,
I was danced off my feet,
I had nowhere to sleep,
The pisco had left me off guard.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

I was lost with the lingo,
Well, call me a gringo,
Sin encanto por señoritas,
The quiet of dawn,
Had me feeling forlorn,
Somewhere they were playing guitars.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

Don’t just sit there on the wall,
And most important don’t touch that dial,
Alright, Woo.
Keep your eyes on the ball,
Don't just sit there on the wall, Woo.
There’s a great feeling going ‘round (it’s going around baby),
That’s why I bring colour to the sound (colour),
Follow me follow me follow me follow me follow me now (just follow me baby),
We've got to we've got to, Follow me.

There it is, I've seen it too many times (times),
I seen too many signs, No ha, No I don’t get with the hype, Ooh ooh ooh.
Get it together.
We've all had to fix up in our lives,
Do it now don’t do it down the line,
Don’t deny yourself the gift of light,
We've got it all together,
We've got it all together.

Please just get it together (please just get it together),
Please just get it together (please just get it together),
You gotta get it together (you gotta get it together),
We gotta get it together (we gotta get it together).
