It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last

But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again

I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance
With one hand free
Let the world back into me
And, oh, I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be

We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance 'till the morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'till we're done

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again

We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance
With one hand free
And have the world so easily
And, oh, we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
High life
In the high life again

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again

We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance
With one hand free
And have the world so easily
And, oh, we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
(Back in the high life)
Oh, we'll be back
