Something happened in my life so sudden I used to think I wouldn't mind The short time that I had At night I'd fly down country roads And flip the lights off under the stars My old truck couldn't do much But it could sure fly right through the dark Moved to California back at 22 Thought that I could cut right through my bitter youth Felt like some unwanted dog wandering 'round in east LA The sun beat down and burned me out I lost myself, I lost the way Looking back, I see it now The emptiness that I couldn't deal with But now I feel it A reason to live When you came into my life I went through changes Suddenly I got the chills when I felt danger Now I want to live out And to feel what it's like to have old love Somehow you just spun me round And showed me all the things that I forgot And now I feel it Now I feel it A reason to live Now I feel it A reason to live
