We lost jennifer to the myth of independence I tried to tell her that she might lose her mind Her daddy's dreams came true the day she hit the highway Without me now though I am sure she's falling behind We lost tommy to the powder and the stranger And a wicked sense of humor that nobody understands When everything gets funny man and there ain't nobody laughing Kind of makes you wonder how much love slips through your hands Sing hey la lay it's a long way to go And a fair fall from on high Don't look down because we're almost home Where we can easily touch the sky Where we can easily touch the sky We lose a lot I guess in the name of aspiration Gravity is sure to pull a number of us down You would think that things get easier In this age of information Goes to show that nothing ever changes in this town Through all the miles and the big mistakes We blow the candles out on the birthday cakes And we wonder where the wish might take you now Through all the trials and the tough tough breaks We sow the seeds for goodness sakes And we reap the hope that you make it Through somehow Well I'll be damned Look who's cutting through the bramble Through the mire and the miracle just to find a way Welcome back to graceland baby It sure is good to see you We missed you in the meantime Though man, you haven't missed a thing LyricsFreak
