the inner light

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
