I'm accustomed to a smooth ride[00:00:26]
Or maybe i'm a dog who's lost its bite[00:00:29]
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more[00:00:31]
I don't expect to sleep through the night[00:00:34]
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie[00:00:37]
But i say why[00:00:39]
Why deny the obvious child [00:00:41]
Why deny the obvious child [00:00:43]
And in remembering a road sign[00:00:47]
I am remembering a girl when i was young[00:00:49]
And we said these songs are true[00:00:55]
These days are ours[00:00:57]
These tears are free And hey[00:00:58]
The cross is in the ballpark[00:01:01]
The cross is in the ballpark[00:01:04]
We had a lot of fun[00:01:09]
We had a lot of money[00:01:10]
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him sonny[00:01:14]
Sonny gets married and moves away[00:01:19]
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay[00:01:22]
Sonny gets sunnier[00:01:24]
Day by day by day by day[00:01:26]
I've been waking up at sunrise[00:01:39]
I've been following the light across my room[00:01:41]
I watch the night receive the room of my day[00:01:44]
Some people say the sky is just the sky[00:01:49]
But i say[00:01:52]
Why deny the obvious child [00:01:53]
Why deny the obvious child [00:01:56]
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself[00:02:10]
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages[00:02:15]
Sonny's yearbook from high school[00:02:20]
Is down from the shelf[00:02:23]
And he idly thumbs through the pages[00:02:25]
Some have died[00:02:30]
Some have fled from themselves[00:02:32]
Or struggled from here to get there[00:02:36]
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls[00:02:40]
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair[00:02:45]
Well i'm accustomed to a smoother ride[00:02:50]
Maybe i'm a dog that's lost his bite[00:02:53]
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more[00:02:55]
I don't expect to sleep the night[00:02:58]
Some people say a lie is just a lie[00:03:00]
But i say the cross is in the ballpark[00:03:02]
Why deny the obvious child[00:03:06]
