I think about that day I left him at a Greyhound station West of Santa Fe We were seventeen but he was sweet and it was true Still I did what I had to do 'Cause I just knew Summer Sunday nights We'd sink into our seats Right as they dimmed out all the lights A Technicolor world made out of music and machine It called me to be on that screen And live inside each scene Without a nickel to my name Hopped a bus, here I came Could be brave or just insane We'll have to see 'Cause maybe in that sleepy town He'll sit one day, the lights are down He'll see my face and think of how he... ...Used to know me Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun I hear 'em ev'ry day The rhythms in the canyons That'll never fade away The ballads in the barrooms Left by those who came before They say "you gotta want it more" So I bang on ev'ry door And even when the answer's "No" Or when my money's running low The dusty mic and neon glow Are all I need And someday as I sing my song A small-town kid'll come along That'll be the thing to push him on and go go Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun And when they let you down The morning rolls around It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun Just another day of sun It's another day of sun Another day has just begun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun
