Lyrics
Robin called me late last night from Buffalo to let me know that he was doing fine
He said digging out from all this snow it lets you know, let's you know that you're alive
How's the family, how's the wife? How's it working nine to five for someone else's dime
Me I'm still living for that dream I've had since I was seventeen
It lifts me up but it takes time
And I'm ten feet high in this second floor apartment beneath an angry winter sky
And this is not the life I had in mind at twenty-five
I thought by now I'd have it made and everytime I'd take the stage I'd not get rich but I'd get by
I do okay but not like you you got one in diapers one in school he said it really makes me wonder why
Why I'm ten feet high in this second floor apartment beneath an angry winter's sky
And this is not the life I had in mind at twenty-five
Most days I'm basking in the afterglow of the show last night and the neon lights
And when you're up there working singing songs and the groove is strong and they sing along
And I'm ten feet high in this second floor apartment beneath an angry winter sky
And this is not the life I had in mind at twenty-five
I'm ten feet high in this second floor apartment beneath this angry winter sky
And this is not the life I had in mindat twenty-five
That I had in mind at twenty-five
That I had in mind yeah
