These nasty streets are filled with entertainment
My mind is filled with awkward memories
There are no lovers in this whole damn city
It makes me want to pack my bags and leave
‘Cause in between my poetry
Or a rock time solid melody
There’s more than meets the eye.
I can’t judge and I can’t plan my life now
Just take a step and honky-tonk the time
I’m so tired of being other places
Now and then I’ve tried to compromise
I compromised myself ~ you know
Sometimes it hasn’t been a joke
There’s more than meets the eye.
You and I we got it all in writing
Conversation has always left us cold
My, oh my, we got to stop this fighting
Right or wrong don’t matter anymore
Ordinary people do unordinary things ~ it’s true
There’s more than meets the eye.
I can’t judge and I can’t plan my life now
Just take a step and honky-tonk the time
I’m so tired of being other places
Once again it’s time to compromise
‘Cause in between a line of poetry
Or a rock time solid melody
There’s more than meets the eye.
