I said I played this song So many times before That the melody keeps repeatin' Growin' new ideas Flowing chords and notes Like a mountain river bleedin' Well I said, as I look back On all the thoughts I've had They reflect just what I'm learnin' Yes, you know that the hardest part Yes, I said, is to stay on top On top of the world forever, Johnny Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well you say you're there But I can see that your eyes are glad Well what do you see, can you see Can you see what I'm feelin' Yes, I've seen your face before I said I've seen it everywhere Showin' all to me With that, I said, revealin' Well I said, will it ever change Oh yes, Lord, I said Will it stay the same I'd surely like to know Before it's over Well I said I played this song Yes, I said it won't be long Won't be long before I start To play it over I, oh I, I've seen your face before It's never gonna, never gonna change again I, oh I, I been in one place too long It's never gonna, never gonna change again
