Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie is a lie is a lie
But I say, "Why? Why deny the obvious, child?
Why deny the obvious, child?"
And in remembering a roadside
I'm remembering a girl when I was young
And she said, "These songs are true, these days are ours
"These tears are free, yeah
"The cross is in the ballpark
"The cross is in the ballpark"
We had a lot of fun, had a lot of money
We had a little son, we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away (Sonny gets married and moves away)
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay (Sonny has a baby and bills to pay)
Sonny gets sunnier day by day, by day, by day
Well, I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say a sky is just a sky
But I say, "Why deny the obvious, child?
"Why deny the obvious, child?"
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died, some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hands through his thinning brown hair
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say, "The cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious, child?"
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
