Everything Is Different Now Lyrics - Singles - Don Henley

I hate to tell you this but I'm very very happy 

And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all 

I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully 

I always wanted to take it to the wall 

But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas 

I found an angel with the golden wings 

She saw me down here in the dark somehow 

And everything is different 

Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes 

And the wild, wild nights of running 

You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long 

You go around in circles 

That just keep getting smaller 

You wake up one mornin' and half your life is gone 

I got so tired of that, I got so lonely 

I dropped down and I called out to Heaven 

'Send me someone to love' 

And Heaven shot back 

'You get the love that you allow' 

And everything is different now 

Oh, and it's sweet to know 

The wisdom that living brings 

Since I got a telegram 

From the God of simple things 

She said 'I don't care what you do for a living' 

'I don't care what kind of car you drive' 

'All I want to know right now is what do you believe in' 

'And what it means to you to be alive' 

'Will you stand here in this fire with me?' 

An' are you ready for another life?' 

So I bit that bullet and I took that vow 

And everything is different now 

Everything is different now 

Everything is different now 

Everything is different now 

(Everything is different now)
