Layin’ Too Low Too Long Songtext
von Dr. Hook

Well, I′ve been running so long, I'm ready to ride
I′m getting tired of the cold, let me come inside
Life is bitching when you're hitching up a wrong-way street
I've been hungry long enough now, I′m ready to eat
Eat and not be eaten, yeah

I′ve been hiding in my closet, but I'm coming out
I kept quiet as a mouse but the cat′s gonna shout
The show is just beginning, better find you a seat
And give this man a real big hand
When he stands on his own two feet


Because it's my time and it′s high time
I got a new voice, gonna sing a new song
Fly up into the sky time
I've been laying too low, too long
I′ve been laying too low for so long

Because it's my time and it's high time
I got a new voice, gonna sing a new song
Fly up into the sky time
I′ve been laying too low, too long
I′ve been laying too low for so long

I was a jumping jack rabbit, now I'm a teddy bear
I kicked all my dirty habits, now I′m taking good care
I got my eyes pried open by that writing on the wall
Don't look back, Jack, you′re on the right track
Just relax and you can have it all


Now it's my time and it′s high time
I got a new voice, gonna sing a new song
Fly up into the sky time
I've been laying too low, too long
I've been laying too low for so long
