Harry Chapin - Halfway to Heaven слова песни
There`s no tick tock on your electric clockBut still your life runs down.I`m halfway to heaven and my home in Forest HillsIt`s halfpast eleven and I`ve got some time to kill.I missed my bus connection `cause my train got in too lateAnd I`m forced into reflection by this half hour wait.Now I have been a straight man and I`ve played it by the rulesI 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 gotBut 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 perfectlyGave me their moralityAnd 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 nowWhat they once would not allowBack in my younger days.The world has changed in so many ways.My mother once said to me so many years ago nowDon`t you touch those bad girls, so I never had girlsUntil I met my Mary when we married.My Mary then had my two sonsMy life as a lover it was already doneIt 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 secretaryAnd she`s something to see.She`s a nice girl, but it`s a young worldAnd she lives her life so free, and she sure gets thru to meShe brings her pad into my office, she wears a sweater and a skirtAnd somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt.She`s wearing nothing underneath, and I can see what`s there to seeAnd she smiles and says, "You wanted me?" and I`d have to agree.You know how much I want her,And I know that I could have her.I know I could, I know she wouldMake love to me, so wonderfully.God damn, I`m one horny mixed up mixture of a man.In my head all my life I`ve been a sinner,And in my bed with just my wife I`m still a beginner,But tomorrow night I`m taking that little girl out to dinner!There`s no tick tock on your electric clockBut still your life runs down.
