I hate to tell you this but I'm very very happy
And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all
I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully
I always wanted to take it to the wallBut I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas
I found an angel with the golden wings
She saw me down here in the dark somehow
And everything is differentYeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes
And the wild, wild nights of running
You know, a starving soul can't live like that for longYou go around in circles
That just keep getting smaller
You wake up one mornin' and half your life is goneI got so tired of that, I got so lonely
I dropped down and I called out to Heaven
'Send me someone to love'And Heaven shot back
'You get the love that you allow'
And everything is different nowOh, and it's sweet to know
The wisdom that living brings
Since I got a telegram
From the God of simple thingsShe said 'I don't care what you do for a living'
'I don't care what kind of car you drive'
'All I want to know right now is what do you believe in''And what it means to you to be alive'
'Will you stand here in this fire with me?'
An' are you ready for another life?'So I bit that bullet and I took that vow
And everything is different now
Everything is different nowEverything is different now
Everything is different now
(Everything is different now)
