 It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast,

 and I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last

 But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down,

 so don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town

 I'll be back in the high life again,

all the doors I closed one time, will open up again

 I'll be back in the high life again,

all the eyes that watched me once, will smile and take me in

 And I'll drink and dance with one hand free;

let the world back into me, and oh I'll be a sight to see;

 back in the high life again

 You used to be the best to make life be life to me,

 and I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be

 We'll have ourselves a time and we'll dance till the morning sun,

 and we'll let the good times come in and we won't stop till we're done

 We'll be back in the high life again,

all the doors I closed one time, will open up again

 We'll be back in the high life again,

all the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in

 And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free;

and have the world so easily, and oh we’ll be a sight to see;

 back in the high life

 We'll be back in the high life again,

all the doors I closed one time will open up again

 We'll be back in the high life again,

all the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in

 back in the high life
