I never made the top ten on anybody’s list Of those who played it cool just to see what I had missed Or be the boy most likely to make the hall of fame By dreaming up a story I never could explain
Now maybe I was too proud to open up my veins The heartache come and gone although the memory remains Young dumb and fearless while leading that parade I’m living with the choices that I made
Now I need a miracle to get me through I’m halfway round the world again I’m halfway back to you Halfway through the whiskey and out of my mind It’s gonna take a miracle this time
So put me on the open sea with no place to hide With steady wind to drive me home the stars will be my guide All the way from Liverpool with this crew of five I did it all the hard way a love that will survive
If there was no Graceland they would never make me King If I had to do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing If I had a brand new Cadillac parked in my Garage I’ll never ever chase that Mirage
Now I need a miracle to get me through I’m halfway round the world again I’m halfway back to you Halfway through the whiskey and out of my mind It’s gonna take a miracle this time
I’m standing in a hallway my mug shot on the wall We made it through the wreckage holy cow we had a ball The medals and apologies we wear with pride No need for us to run and hide
