Room Service

I'm ridin' in the back seat - nine years old,
Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles,
And then I get to thinkin' - that it don't seem real,
I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 Oldsmobile.

And I wanna know what they're not tellin',
And I don't wanna hear no lies,
I just want something to believe in,
Ahh - it's a lonely, lonely road I'm on,
This side of paradise.

I'm ridin' in the back seat - black limousine,
Starin' out the window at a funeral scene,
And then I get to thinkin' - and it don't seem right,
I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight.

I wanna know what they're not tellin',
I don't wanna hear no lies,
I just want something to believe in,
Ahh - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on,
This side of paradise.

There ain't no crystal ball,
Yhere ain't no Santa Claus,
There ain't no fairy tales,
There ain't no streets of gold,
There ain't no chosen few,
It's just me and you,
That's all we got yeah,
That's all we got to hold on to,
Yeah this side of paradise.

I remember bein' a little boy in the back seat - nine years old,
Always askin' questions - never did what I was told,
And then I'd get to thinkin' like I always do,
We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then,
A little light shines through.

I wanna know what they're not telling,
I don't wanna hear no lies,
I just want something to believe in,
Ahh - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on,
This side of paradise.

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - Oh I'll be there,
And if you ever feel down or feel small - Oh don't despair,
And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - Babe come on home.

Let's just make love - All night,
Let's just hold on - So tight,
Let's make it last - For life,
I won't let you go.

Yeah we're flying,
Feels just like flying,
We're such a long way up,
From the ground,
Just you and me flying,
So high and I'm never gonna come down.

Every time you turn around and wanna run - Oh come to me,
When every little dream comes undone - Oh don't worry.

Let's just make love - All night,
Let's just hold on - So tight,
Let's make it last - For life,
I won't let you go.

Yeah we're flying,
Feels just like flying,
We're such a long way up,
From the ground,
Yeah - Just you and me flying,
So high and I'm never gonna come down - No.

Yeah it's just you and me,
Oh let's just make love - All night,
Let's just hold on - So tight,
Let's make it last - For life,
I won't let you go.

Yeah we're flying,
Feels just like flying,
Ohh, we're such a long way up,
Ohh, from the ground,
(Yeah we're flying,)
Yeah we're flying,
(Feels just like flying,)
Feels like flying,
(We're such a long way up,)
A long, long way up, from the ground,
Yeah we're flying,
So high and,
We're never gonna come down,
You and me.

I'm sitting at the wheel - I got a green light,
I'm not afraid of nothing,
'cause heart and soul I'm built for life.

So let the engines roar - Push the pedal down,
I want the white lines on my highway,
To lead me out of town.

I'm rolling on and on and on - Who knows where I'm goin'.

Life is an open road,
It's the best story never told,
It's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea,
Life is an open road to me,
Life is an open road to me.

I got headlights - To guide me through the night,
I got the window down and the radio playing,
It makes me feel alive.

I'm rolling on and on and on - Who knows where I'm goin'.

Life is an open road,
It's the best story never told,
It's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea,
Life is an open road to me,
Life is an open road to me,
Yeah life's an open road.

Life is an open road,
It's the best story never told,
It's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea,
Life is an open road to me,
Life is an open road to me,
Yeah life's an open road - oh yeah.

Yeah I'm built for life,
Life is an open road to me.

When a hotel room's the closest thing you've got to home,
You could be in Philadelphia, you could even be in Rome,
You gotta dial nine to get an outside line,
I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life.

Well I hope to see your smile - but I'm always wrong,
It's a different melody but the same old song...

Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's only room service - yeah - room service.

I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember,
Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a Gibson or a Fender,
I still think about you babe,
I swear sometimes I see your face,
These are crazy days.

Yeah I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream,
It's a brand new movie but the same old scene...

Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's only room service - yeah - room service.

You know I wouldn't change a thing - no,
I'm just waiting for the bell in my room to ring,
Well I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong,
It's a different melody but the same old song...

Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's the closest thing I'll ever get to home,
It's room service - room service - yeah - room service.

Are you lonely - are you crying,
Are those teardrops in your eyes,
Is it more blues - is it bad news,
Is it a curse, or a blessing in disguise?

Did you leave him - do you love him,
Have you said your - said your last goodbyes,
Is it over - hey, are you sorry,
Could it be a blessing in disguise?

It's the scars that make you stronger,
It's the hard times that make you wise,
It's the sweet things only time brings,
That arrive like a blessing in disguise.

Clouds roll by - and bring the rain,
Tears will dry - and ease the pain,

Ohh are you lonely - are you crying,
Are those teardrops - teardrops in your eyes,
Ohh is it more blues - is it bad news, yeah,
Is it a curse or a blessing in disguise,
Is it a curse or a blessing in disguise,
Ohh is it a curse or a blessing in disguise.
