Back in the High Life Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down
So, don't be surprised to see me in the brighter part of town
[Chorus]
And I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
Oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
[Verse 2]
You used to be the best to make life be real to me
And I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time and we'll dance 'til the morning sun
We'll let the good times come in, we won't stop until we're done
[Chorus]
And we're back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
Have the world so easily
Oh, we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life
[Chorus]
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
[Outro]

From an interview with Rolling Stone
Q: You cover “Back in the High Life” on the new album. How has that been going over?
A: It’s OK. People don’t have some kind of knee-jerk reaction to Steve Winwood. They know they love him. They get confused — they don’t know if they remember the beer commercia...
