Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer



Just another pure heart

A wide open mind

Driftin' like a cork on a sea of dreams

Playin' the school boy

Makin' believe

Dyin' to fill the shoes

The really big shoes for the TV screams



Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid

Talkin' 'bout the heroes and the war

Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same

Something deep inside of me had changed



Dedicated upstart entourage

In the garage

Four crazy juveniles

Burnin' up the midnight miles

The gigs

The juke box guinea pigs

Spending our prime

Hey man

Honky-tonk women just one more time



Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid

Talkin' 'bout the heroes and the war

Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same

But something deep inside of me remained



Took a ride on the wild wind

And lost myself an old friend

Don't ask me now if I'd do it again
