YOU'RE FEELING NERVOUS
AREN'T YOU, BOY
WITH YOUR QUIET VOICE
AND IMPECCABLE STYLE
DON'T EVER LET THEM
STEAL YOUR JOY
AND YOUR GENTLE WAYS
TO KEEP 'EM FROM RUNNIN' WILD
THEY CAN KICK DIRT
IN YOUR FACE, DRESS YOU DOWN
AND TELL YOU THAT
YOUR PLACE IS IN THE MIDDLE
WHEN THEY HATE
THE WAY YOU SHINE
I SEE YOU
TUGGIN' ON YOUR SHIRT
TRYIN' TO HIDE INSIDE OF IT
AND HIDE HOW MUCH IT HURTS
LET 'EM LAUGH WHILE THEY CAN
LET 'EM SPIN
LET 'EM SCATTER IN... THE WIND
I HAVE BEEN TO THE MOVIES
I'VE SEEN HOW IT ENDS
AND THE JOKE'S ON THEM
YOU GET DISCOURAGED
DON'T YOU, GIRL
IT'S YOUR BROTHER'S WORLD
FOR A WHILE LONGER
WE GOTTA DANCE
WITH THE DEVIL
ON A RIVER TO BEAT THE STREAM
CALL IT LIVIN' THE DREAM
CALL IT KICKIN' THE LADDER
THEY COME TO KICK DIRT
IN YOUR FACE, TO CALL YOU WEAK
AND THEN DISPLACE YOU AFTER
CARRYIN' YOUR BABY
ON YOUR BACK
ACROSS THE DESERT
I SAW YOUR EYES
BEHIND YOUR HAIR
AND YOU'RE LOOKIN' TIRED
BUT YOU DON'T LOOK SCARED
LET 'EM LAUGH WHILE THEY CAN
LET 'EM SPIN
LET 'EM SCATTER IN... THE WIND
I HAVE BEEN TO THE MOVIES
I'VE SEEN HOW IT ENDS
AND THE JOKE'S ON THEM
LET 'EM LAUGH WHILE THEY CAN
LET 'EM SPIN
LET 'EM SCATTER IN... THE WIND
I HAVE BEEN TO THE MOVIES
I'VE SEEN HOW IT ENDS
AND THE JOKE'S ON... THEM...
OOH.....
OOH-OOH.....
