i can remember when
i was down in alabama
my heart-strings broken again
somebody had the news
she was a three-time loser
i had to choose her to win
and every night was a lonely night
i just didn't feel right
i was searchin' for the inner light
i still recall the time
i was a high-night flyer
a rainbow rider
shakin' the body down
easy women
my head's still swimmin' now
everyday i was up by three
it was easy for me
never knew i couldn't see
we still go back
trying it one more try
i still go back
following this heart of mine
i go down there
hopin' she just won't lie
she just don't care
talkin' 'bout the inner light
still we go back
to give it one more try
i go back
following this heart of mine
i go down there
hopin' that she just won't lie
she just don't care
talkin' 'bout the inner light
talkin' 'bout the inner light
i'm talkin' 'bout the inner light
