 2x
 It used  to seem to me  that my life  ran on too fast,
 and I had  to take it slowly  just to make  the good parts last
 But when  you're born to run  it's so hard  to just slow down,
 so don't  be surprised to see  me back in that bright  part of town
 I'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the doors I closed  one time, will open  up again
 I'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the eyes that watched  me once, will smile  and take me in
 And I'll drink  and dance with one  hand free;
let  the world back into  me, and oh  I'll be a sight  to see;
 back in the high life  again
 2x
 You used  to be the best  to make  life be life to me,
 and I hope  that you're still out  there and you're like  you used to be
 We'll have  ourselves a time  and we'll dance  till the morning sun,
 and we'll let  the good times come  in and we won't  stop till we're done
 We'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the doors I closed  one time, will open  up again
 We'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the eyes that watched  us once, will smile  and take us in
 And we’ll drink  and dance with one  hand free;
and  have the world so easily,  and oh  we’ll be a sight  to see;
 back in the high life
 We'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the doors I closed  one time will open  up again
 We'll be back  in the high  life again,
all  the eyes that watched  us once, will smile  and take us in
 back in the high life
