Ba-ba-da-ba da-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba ba

I think about that day

I left him at a Greyhound station west of Santa Fe

We were 17 but he was sweet and it was true

Still I knew what I had to do

Cause I just knew

Summer Sunday nights

We'd sink into our seats right as they dimmed out all the lights

A technicolor world made out of music and machine

It called me to be on that screen

And live inside each scene

Without a nickel to my name

Hopped a bus, here I came

Could be brave or just insane

We'll have to see!

Cause maybe in that sleepy town

He'll sit one day, the lights are down

He'll see my face and think of how he used to know me

Climb these hills

I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine [The lights that shine]

When they let you down [It's another day of]

Get up off the ground [It's another day of]

Morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

I hear 'em every day

The rhythms in the canyons that'll never fade away

The ballads in the barrooms left by those who came before

They say we gotta want it more

So I bang on every door

And even when the answer's "no"

Or when my money's running low

The dusty mic and neon glow

Are all I need!

And someday as I sing a song

A small town kid'll come along

That'll be the thing to push him on and go go

Climb these hills

I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine [The lights that shine]

When they let you down [It's another day of]

Get up off the ground [Yes, it's another day of]

Morning rolls around

And it's another of sun

[Cheers]

[Instrumental break]

When they let you down

The morning rolls around

It's another day of sun!

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun [Sun, sun, sun, sun]

It's another day of sun

Just another day of sun

It's another day of sun [Sun]

Another day has just begun

Sun

It's another day of sun!

[Cars honking]

It's another day of sun!
