Lyrics for Halfway to Heaven by Harry Chapin:
| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Halfway to Heaven | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 69 | | | | Lyrics: | There's no tick tock on your electric clock
But still your life runs down.
I'm
halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills
It's halfpast eleven and I've got some time to
kill.
I missed my bus connection 'cause my train got in too late
And I'm forced into
reflection by this half hour wait.
Now I have been a straight man and I've played it
by the rules
I been a good man, a good husband, yes a good old fashioned fool.
I have a fine
wife and two children just like everybody's got
But after fifteen years of marriage the fires
don't burn too hot.
You see someone's played a trick on me.
They set me up so
perfectly
Gave me their morality
And then changed the rules they set for me.
Someone
must be laughing now,
Though it don't seem funny somehow,
How the world's accepting
now
What they once would not allow
Back in my younger days.
The world has changed in so
many ways.
My mother once said to me so many years ago now
Don't you touch those
bad girls, so I never had girls
Until I met my Mary when we married.
My Mary then had my two
sons
My life as a lover it was already done
It was over before it had really
begun.
You see someone played a trick on me.
They sent this little girl to
me,
She is my new secretary
And she's something to see.
She's a nice girl, but it's a
young world
And she lives her life so free, and she sure gets thru to me
She
brings her pad into my office, she wears a sweater and a skirt
And somewhere deep inside of me
something starts to hurt.
She's wearing nothing underneath, and I can see what's there to
see
And she smiles and says, "You wanted me?" and Ic12 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
