You wake up one mornin' and half your life is gone
You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long
So I bit that bullet and I took that vow
But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas
I always wanted to take it to the wall
She said 'I don't care what you do for a living'
'Will you stand here in this fire with me?'
She saw me down here in the dark somehow
'You get the love that you allow'
'Send me someone to love'
The wisdom that living brings
That just keep getting smaller
I got so tired of that, I got so lonely
Since I got a telegram
An' are you ready for another life?'
'All I want to know right now is what do you believe in'
And everything is different now
From the God of simple things
And everything is different
Everything is different now
'And what it means to you to be alive'
Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes
(Everything is different now)
I dropped down and I called out to Heaven
Everything is different now
Everything is different now
And the wild, wild nights of running
I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully
I found an angel with the golden wings
And Heaven shot back
And everything is different now
'I don't care what kind of car you drive'
You go around in circles
Oh, and it's sweet to know
