don't know what's gotten into you
must be something in your genes
about this time i was crazy
too
and most times in between
but i survived to live another day
i might have learned a trick or two
so just remember when your old and your gray
some of what i taught to you
stay alive inside
don't be a stranger
keep a line open to the folks back home
don't run and hide when everything changes
walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
you're laying low
staying outta sight
hanging out in your room
you're up all night by the monitor's light
and sleeping through the afternoon
well
i won't tell you how you gotta be
you're old enough to make a choice
it's just that in between all the words on the screen
i doubt you'll ever hear a human voice
stay alive inside
don't be a stranger
keep a line open to the outside world
don't run and hide when everything changes
walk between the raindrops smooth as a pearl
you're at that age and you know it all
and you're not even hearing what i say
knowing better never kept me outta trouble
i don't care i'm gonna tell you anyway
stay alive inside
don't be a stranger
keep a line open to the folks back home
don't run and hide when everything changes
walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
stay alive inside
don't be a stranger
keep a line open to the folks back home
don't run and hide when everything changes
walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
walk between the raindrops dry as a bone
