Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Ivory Tower

I've been a believer in many things

I've past a sign post or two

I never could see why the bad folks don't change

Or why the good ones want to.

Everyone's left us alone

to our ways thinking we might have been right

But I'm not so fond of this being alone

especially this time of night..

Here we are in our ivory tower

All our fears left behind

Looking on down from our ivory tower

Like everyone else has lost their mind.

I've tried to look to myself for my strength

Look to a song for release

Kept all the people I could at arms lenght

The ones that I never could please.

I've been refining the way that I feel

Towards all the ones who are near

I've been refining the way that I look

For all the women for years.

Here we are in our ivory tower

All our fears left behind

Looking on down from our ivory tower

Like everyone else has lost their mind.

Here we are in our ivory tower

All our fears left behind

Looking on down from our ivory tower

Like everyone else has lost their mind...
