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 on I'll be a sight to see 
Back in the high life again 

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 again 

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 again
