Don Henley - Everything Is Different Now lyrics

(don henley/scott f. crago/timothy drury) I hate to tell you this, but i'm very, very happy And i know that's not what you'd expect from me at all I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully I always wanted to take it to the wall But i found somebody with a heart as big as texas I found an angel with the golden wings She saw me down here in the dark somehow And everything is different now Yeah, i miss the old crowd sometimes And the wild, wild nights of running You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long You go around in circles that just keep getting smaller You wake up one morning and half your life is gone I got so tired of that; i got so lonely I dropped down and i called out to heaven And heaven shot back, And everything is different now Oh, and it's sweet to know The wisdom that living brings Since i got a telegram from the god of simple things She said, She said, And what it means to you to be alive Will you stand here in this fire with me? Are you ready for another life? So i bit that bullet and i took that vow And everything is different now Everything is different now
