Don't like the direction you have come to Now it has the attention that it used to Stay home all night with the TV and wife Comfortable life's not all it's cracked up to be Don't like the direction you have come to
It's easy to get caught and the weight of the world It's falling on your face, so unsure that you would

Down in Tennessee Sits a girl alone She sings along with her favorite songs on the radio
Only friends she sees Are on TV Magazine and movie stars are her only family Yeah they're all she needs
Carolina's so Happy on the outside She keeps frowning inside
In the Nashville sky Shines a diamond bright Carolina says it's for the boys after midnight She drifts off to sleep And in her dreams She lives in California in a mansion by the sea Yeah that's who she could be
Carolina's so Happy on the outside She keeps frowning inside
Carolina's so Happy on the outside She keeps frowning inside
And then she wakes to find out Her dream is real (It's real) It's real (It's real) It's real (It's real) It's real
Carolina's so Happy on the outside And now she's smiling inside
No it aint the way that your hair hangs down, and you dance like a clown We just don't like you around
You were a New-Waver, it was 1983, I was new on the scene, I just wanted everyone to like me
So I told 'em that we're not friends and I thought you were wierd, what a two-faced thing to do
And you held your head high, And you held your head high when you walked down my street, oh no
At my birthday party you just showed up, we were so stuck up, we just wanted to be mean
Yeah there goes that girl with the cheap guitar, she's a punk rock star,she's a dying art
And you held your head high, And you held your head high
when you walked down my street, And you rolled your eyes to the sky, yeah you rolled your eyes to the sky, You don't feel a thing, And you held your head high, And you held your head high when you walked down my street,oh no
No it aint the way that your hair hangs down and you dance like a clown, Its the middle school frown
Love ain't on my side, love ain't special, love ain't great Lost in a fog, amusing spite to find my way Where did you go? I still curse you to this day I miss her smile, I miss her laughing in my face
And when you coming round Baby I've been so blue And I sleep with the TV on It's the only sound now loves gone
I will recover, I will hear it whispered back Until then I'll keep one leg up off that track 'Cause he tells you you are still upon his mind He'll get around to see you when he finds the time
And when you coming round Baby I've been so blue And I sleep with the TV on It's the only sound now loves gone
When you coming round? Baby I've been a fool And I've already waited so long So long my love has gone
When you coming round Baby I've been so blue And I sleep with the TV on It's the only sound now loves gone
When you coming round? Baby I've been a fool And I've already waited so long So long my love has gone
Southern style Things are slow You're watching all the speeding cars Moving like you wish you could But oh, it's too bad Cause they've drove away your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light And I'm gonna find a way that is right And I'm gonna get you into the light And make it okay
Sad eyes You are the only one whose Whose blue skies are gray So don't cry You'll be the only one to make them go away
You're so young And so bored You were staying out 'til late Cause it was what your husband hated But oh, it's too bad Cause he's stolen all your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light And I'm gonna find a way that is right And I'm gonna get you into the light And make it okay
Sad eyes You are the only one whose Whose blue skies are gray So don't cry You'll be the only one to make them go away Yeah you could make them go away
Took a lot of tears but all you had to find was Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind yeah Took a lot of tears but all you had to find was Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind yeah
I'm gonna get you into the light And I'm gonna find a way that is right And I'm gonna get you into the light And make it okay
Sad eyes You are the only one whose Whose blue skies are gray So don't cry You'll be the only one to make them go away yeah
Sad eyes (Took a lot of tears but all) You are the only one whose (You had to find was) Whose blue skies are gray (Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind) So don't cry You'll be the only one to make them go away Things are gonna go your way Yeah they're gonna go your way Oh they're bound to go your way
