Wide eyed girl she dances across the room
The band is watching her, their eyes to drunk to zoom
Come sit down with me, and let's watch the show
The jokers in the street all following the flow

The years are closing in, the lines are wearing thin
Everybody's found their place, but you have yet to begin

This is the life you got, that you're always gonna live
These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill
So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes
If there's somewhere in this world you wanna be
The music takes you there, eventually

Wide eyed girl she's laughing in the money shot
She looks so happy in every picture that I've got
In love with music, she's a purebred fan
She's so alive as she is swaying to the band
And now she's with me, she's forever by my side
Come on let me hold you close tonight

This is the life you got that you're always gonna live
These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill
So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes
You don't know where your heading, but you'll see
That the music takes you there, eventually

Ain't nothing to it, you just head straight on through it
Everybody's waiting, waiting there for you
Waiting there for you

This is the life you got that you're always gonna live
These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill
So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes
If there's somewhere else you wish that you could be
The music's gonna take you there
And all the pieces fit somewhere
The music takes you there eventually
