Lyrics Christopher Cross

Christopher Cross

Deputy Dan

Just another pure heart

A wide open mind

Driftin' like a cork on a sea of dreams

Playin' the school boy

Makin' believe

Dyin' to fill the shoes

The really big shoos for the TV screams

Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid

Talkin' bout the heroes and the war

Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same

Something deep inside of me had changed

Dedicated upstart entourage

In the garage

Four crazy Juveniles

Burnin' up the midnight miles

The gigs

The juke box guinea pigs

Spending our prime

Hey man

Honkey-tonk women just one more time

Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid

Talkin' bout the heroes and the war

Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same

Something deep inside of me had changed

Took a ride on the wild wind

And lost myself an old friend'

Don't ask me now if I'd do it again
