When the morning came I was standing in the light
I could finally see, I had made it through the night
The birds in flight, the snow was white, the sun shining' on my face
I could finally feel the fahrenheit
But I's still tired I hadn't eaten in days
Or slept in a week, that insomnia was killing' me
Along with all the intake, headache, heartache, happy to make daybreak
There's a battle in my mind with my soul at stake
I remember the smell
I remember the smoke
Seventeen learning just how to cope
Climbing a burning rope with no hope
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
I'll remember those days for the rest of my life
And no matter how strange it gets I'll be alright
I know how far we've come and how far we'll go
I don't for a second look back on that haze
And think oh how much better in my silly rebel ways
I's a wayward child
I's a wayward child
I don't miss the drugs
Ya I don't miss the dope
And I don't miss screwing around learning how to cope
With all the wrong techniques to everything I never need in life
Its all baggage now
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Closed my eyes and years flew by
I still remember that clear blue sky
Willie Nelson, The Part Where I Cry
I asked my lucky and went back inside
Those aren't the golden days
No not quite
And I never could figure out quite how to fly
No matter how high I got, kept coming back down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
