Well i've been so many places
i've been around, i've been around
and i've seen so many smiling faces
turn into frowns, turn into frowns

yes i used to spend all my money
on the things that never last
i always felt that i was running
and the time kept running past

but every now and then i get a notion
and i get to feeling like i felt before
never could i bury my emotions
and every now and then i want you more

well i may have made some bad decisions
so have we all, so have we all
but it's never like you envision
not at all, no not at all

you know it's so hard to get up in the morning
with your head in your hands
i wish that i could have had some warning
i might have changed my plans

but every now and then i get a notion
and i get to feeling like i felt before
never could i bury my emotions
and every now and then i need you more

now i'm getting older
so are you, yes so are you
the wind outside, it feels colder
but i guess i knew, i always knew

oh, someone give me religion
before i die, before i die
there's somewhere my heart will be forgiven
it's in the sky, it's in the sky

and every now and then i get a notion
and i get to feeling like i felt before
never could i bury my emotions
and every now and then i love you more
