歌曲歌詞
I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost it's bite
I don't expect to be treated like
A fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say
A lie's a lie a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child
Why deny the obvious child
And in rememberin' a road sign
I am rememberin' a girl
When I was young
And we said These songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are free
And hey now
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark
We had a lot of fun
We had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought
We'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier
Day by day by day by day
I've been wakin' up at sunrise
I've been followin' the light across
My room
Well I watch the night receive
The room of my day
Some people say
The sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child
Why deny the obvious child
Sonny sits by his window
And he thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms
Are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school
Is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
He runs his hands through
His thinning brown hair
Well I'm accustomed to a smoother ride
Or maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite
I don't expect to be treated like
A fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through
The night
Some people say
A lie's just a lie
But I say The cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child
