Wild Life lyrics

          Reach For the Sky

          You can run but you can't hide
          Just another day in the rat race
          It seems like you're fallin' behind
          so tell me whatcha gonna do

          So you're feelin' down and out
          And it seems like you got no future
          Never knowin' what you will find
          So tell me whatcha gonna do

          Chorus:
          Just reach for the sky
          There's nothin that you can't do
          Just open your eyes
          Ooh the lights will shine on you
          You'll reach for the sky

          How far do you hafta climb
          To stand on top of the mountain
          When it seems all ya do is slide?
          Now tell me what this means to you
          Oh, what this means to you baby
          Maybe we can run away
          And hide behind our tears

          Paradise is on it's way
          Just open your mind up
          I'll rid you of all your fears

          Chorus:
          Just reach for the sky
          There's nothin' that you can't do
          Just open your eyes
          Ooh, the lights will shine on you
          You'll reach for the sky
          Just reach for the sky

          All alone
          We walk the streets of broken hearts

          But, those were empty promises
          And now I live the loneliness
          Oh girl!
          Oh my darling,it's so true
          It's so true
          Yeah, yeah, yeah

          I guess I'll walk along the streets
          Of broken hearts again
          Oh, oh
          That's just the way we feel
          If all things are left unsaid
          Yeah yeah
          I guess I'll walk along the streets
          Of broken hearts again
          Oh oh
          That's just the way we feel
          If all things are left unsaid
          (Oh girl)Walk the streets of broken dreams
          (Broken hearts again)Broken hearts yeah
          (Oh girl)Walk the streets of broken hearts

          Old Man
          (spoken:) Yeah, I said oh yeah

          Wanna tell you a story that happend to me
          there was this old man,started chattin' with me
          He sat by himself on the side of the road
          A cowboy hat, and them pointed toes
          He said," Hey son, what do ya do?
          Ya better pay attention when I'm talkin' to you
          I've been around here for a long, long time
          Could have bought the land for damn near a dime"

          (spoken:)Oh, right over there by that gas station.Over there. See it?

          So I headed on over
          Leaned against his truck
          And ya better hear me out
          Or you're shit outta luck
          I've been through times that ya wouldn't believe
          It makes a man feel about a hundred and three
          Again he asked "What do you do? I can't imagine by lookin' at you
          Boy, things have changed since way back when
          I wish I was back in my teens again"

          Chorus:
          I said hey!
          I said hey!
          That's what the old man said
          That's what I said, y'all
          I said hey!
          I said hey!
          That's what the old man said

          (spoken:) All right

          So we hopped in his truck
          Went for a ride
          He talked about things before I was alive
          "Ya know that used to be a big mining town
          My brother and I brought the mountain down
          My, oh my how they built over there
          Have ya ever thought about cutting that hair?
          Ya never told me what do ya do?
          Tell me kid, ya just passing through?"

          Chorus:
          You say hey!
          You say hey!
          From what the old man said
          From what he said, y'all
          I said hey!
          I said hey!
          That's what the old man said-ah yeah

          So I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried
          Yeah I tried to speak my peace
          So lo and behold
          When all was told
          The only one listening was me
          So I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried
          Yeah i tried to break on through
          So, lo and behold when all was told
          The stubborn one was he

          So the moral of the story
          Is ya gotta learn a lesson
          Especially from a man who got a Smith and Wesson
          Better learn with your ears and not with your eyes
          Or you'll be dealt a big surprise.

          Chorus:
          I said hey!
          I said hey!
          To what the old man said
          From what I say y'all
          I said hey!
          I said hey!
          To what the old man said
          Ooh yeah
          That's what he said
          Oh, that's what he said, yeah
          Hmmm. hmmmmm
          That's what he said
          Oh that's what he said yeah
          Ooh that's what he said
          Ooh ooh that's what he said yeah
          That's what he said
          Ooh ooh yeah
          Let me tell you all about it now
          Oh yeah
          Won't you listen to me?
          Won't you listen to me?
          Won't you listen to me?
          Won't you listen to me?
          Won't you listen to me?(repeat another 11 times)
          Yeah
          Oh that's what he said, yeah.
          Hmmm, hmmmm
          That's what he said
          Oh that's what he said, yeah
          Hmmm, hmmmm
          That's what he said
          Oh, that's what he said, yeah
          Hmmm, hmmmm
          Won't you listen to me?(repeat and fade)
