Well I'm accustomed
to the smooth life
Or maybe I'm a dog
who's lost his pride
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's a lie
but I say why
Why deny
the obvious child?
Why deny
the obvious child?
I'm remembering
the road sign
I'm remembering
the girl when
I was yo....ung
And they said
These songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are feelings
The cross
is in the ball park
The cross
is in the ball park
Had a lot of fun
Had a lot of money
We had a little son
we thought we'd
call him Sonny
Sonny gets married
and moves away
Sonny had a baby
and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier
day by day
by day by day
Well I've been
waking up at sunrise
I've been following the
light across my room
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?
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Sonny sits by
his window
and thinks to himself
How 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
Runs his hands
through his
thinning brown hair
Well I'm accustomed
to the smooth life
Or maybe I'm a dog
who's lost his pride
I don't expect to be
treated like a fool
no more
I don't expect
to sleep all night
some people say
a lie is just a lie
but I say
The cross
is in the ball park
Why deny
the obvious
child?
