Stolen Moments Lyrics - John Hiatt

I used to drink a lot in those days you see 

Ya, that's the way the wind blows 

These days the only bar I ever see 

Has got lettuce and tomatoes 

I get pumped up in the back of my mind 

Start thinking those days were the best of times 

But I never look forward to looking back 

Now I see a little daylight coming through the cracks 

Don't you know we're living in stolen moments 

You steal enough, it feels like we're stopping time 

These days are gold, we're living in stolen moments 

Just grab a hold 

Well some guy told you that you couldn't dance 

And you been carrying that forever 

I'm the kinda fella needs a, a second chance 

C'mon baby, let's boo-ga-loo together

I see you over there just clinging to the wall 

'Cause they told you like ivy, you were born to crawl 

But you kept looking up, girl and I know why 

'Cause you knew some day you were gonna touch the sky 

Don't you know we're living in stolen moments 

You steal enough, it feels like we're stopping time 

These days are gold, we're living in stolen moments 

Just grab a hold and feel your way, these days are yours and mine 

Well, I couldn't dream this life I'm livin' 

Somehow we just survived and every waste of time forgiven 

Now I'm out in the backyard leaning on a tree 

And I have no way of knowing 

Can't lean too hard, that's my philosophy 

Man that tree is growing 

Maybe I'll never grow up to be straight and tall 

But you can lean on me, baby, I won't fall 

Maybe in the deal I can learn to bend 

Learn to listen like that tree, baby like a good friend

Well don't you know we're living in stolen moments 

You steal enough, it feels like we're stopping time 

These days are gold, we're living in stolen moments 

Just grab a hold and and feel your way, baby 

Don't ya know we're living in stolen moments 

You steal enough, it feels like we're stopping time 

These days are gold, we're living in stolen moments 

Just grab a hold and feel your way, these days are yours and mine 

Yours and mine, baby 

Steal away, steal away, steal away 

Steal away, steal away, steal away
