Well my in The Highlands, gentle and fair blooming in the wildwood air Bluebells blazing where the Aberdeen waters Well my heart's in The I'm gonna go when I feel good enough to go
Windows were shaking all in my dreams Everything was the way that it seems Woke up this mornin' and I looked at the old page Same old rat race, life in the old cage I don't want nothin' from anyone, that much to take Wouldn't know the difference between a real and a fake Feel like a in a world of mystery I wish come and push back the clock for me
Well my heart's in The Highlands I roam That's where be when I get called home The wind it whispers to the buckeye of rhyme Well, my in The Highlands I can only get there one at a time I'm listening to Young, I gotta turn up the sound Someone's yellin' "Turn it down" like I'm driftin', driftin' from scene to scene I'm wonderin' what in the devil it all possibly mean
Insanity is smashin' up my soul You say I was on anything but a roll If I had a conscience, I just might blow my top What would I do with it anyway, take it to the pawn shop? My heart's in The Highlands at the break of By the lake of the Black Swan Big white clouds like chariots swing down low Well my in The Highlands, only place left to go
I'm in town in some restaurant I got no what I want Or maybe I do but I'm just really not Waitress comes over, in the place but me and her Well it must be a holiday, nobody around She studies me as I sit down She got a face and long white shiny legs
I said "Tell me I want" She say "You probably want hard eggs" I "That's right, bring me some" She "We ain't got any, you picked the wrong time to come" Then she says "I know you're an artist, draw a of me" I said "I would if I but I don't do sketches memory" Well she's there, she says "I'm right here in of you Or you looked?"
I say "All right, I know but I have my drawin' book" She me a napkin, she say "You can do it on that" I say "Yes I could but I don't know where my is at" She one out from behind her ear She "Alright now go ahead draw me I'm stayin' right here" I make a few lines and I it for her to see Well she the napkin and throws it back and says "That don't look a thing me"
I said "Oh kind miss, it most does" She say "You must be joking", I "I wish I was" She says "You don't read women do ya?" At that's what I think I hear her say I say "How would you know, and what would it matter anyway?" Well she "Ya just don't seem like ya do" I "You're way wrong" She says "Which ones have you then?", I say "Read Erica Jong" She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my I step outside back to the street, but nobody's goin' anywhere
Well my heart's in The Highlands with the and hounds Way up in the border far from the towns With the twang of the arrow and the of the bow My heart's in The Highlands, can't see any way to go Every day is the same thing, out the Feel further away than ever things in life it just gets too late to learn Well I'm lost somewhere, I must have a few bad turns
I see people in the park, forgettin' troubles and woes They're drinkin' and dancin', wearin' bright clothes All the young men with the young lookin' so good Well, I'd places with any of 'em, in a minute if I could I'm crossin' the street to get away from a dog Talkin' to myself in a I think what I might be a full-length leather coat Somebody just asked me if I'm to vote
The sun is to shine on me But it's not like the sun that to be The over and there's less and less to say I got new eyes, everything looks far Well my in The Highlands at the break of day the hills and far away There's a way to get there, and I'll it out somehow I'm already there in my mind and that's good enough for now
