Halfway To Heaven - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:00:12]
But still your life runs down[00:00:18]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:00:24]
But still your life runs down[00:00:30]
I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills[00:00:49]
It's halfpast eleven[00:00:55]
I've got some time to kill[00:00:59]
I missed my bus connection my train got in too late[00:01:02]
And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait[00:01:08]
Now I have been a straight man and I've played it by the rules[00:01:15]
I been a good man a good husband a good old fashioned fool[00:01:21]
I have a fine wife and two children just like everybody's got[00:01:27]
But after fifteen years of marriage the fires don't burn too hot[00:01:33]
Ahhhh someone played a trick on me[00:01:42]
They set me up so perfectly[00:01:46]
They Gave me their morality[00:01:49]
And then changed the rules they set for me[00:01:51]
Someone must be laughing now[00:01:55]
Though it don't seem funny somehow[00:01:58]
How the world's accepting now[00:02:01]
What they once would not allow[00:02:04]
Back in my younger days[00:02:07]
The world has changed in so many ways[00:02:10]
My mother once said to me so many years ago now[00:02:17]
Don't you touch those bad girls so I never had girls[00:02:23]
Until I had my Mary when we married[00:02:29]
My Mary then had my two sons[00:02:35]
My life as a lover was already done[00:02:38]
It was over before it had really begun[00:02:41]
Ahhhh someone played a trick on me[00:02:50]
They sent this little girl to me[00:02:53]
She is my new secretary[00:02:56]
And she's something to see[00:02:58]
Yeah She's a nice girl but it's a young world[00:03:02]
And she lives her life so free and she sure gets through to me[00:03:08]
She brings her pad into my office she wears a sweater and a skirt[00:03:23]
And somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt[00:03:30]
She's wearing nothing underneath [00:03:35]
I can see what's there to see[00:03:38]
She smiles and says "You wanted me " I'd have to agree[00:03:41]
You know how much I want her[00:03:50]
And I know that I could have her[00:03:53]
I know I could I know she would[00:03:56]
Make love to me so wonderfully[00:03:59]
God damn I'm one crazy mixed up mixture of a man[00:04:06]
In my head all my life I've been a sinner[00:04:18]
And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner[00:04:24]
But tomorrow night I'm taking that little girl out to dinner [00:04:30]
There's no tick tock on your electric clock[00:05:01]
But still your life runs down[00:05:07]
There's no no no no tick tock[00:05:13]
But still your life runs down[00:05:19]
Yes there's no no no no no no[00:05:25]
I was I was on still your life runs down[00:05:29]
I was[00:05:38]
