Strangers In Paradise - John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band

作词：John Cafferty

作曲：John Cafferty

Billy said when he was seventeen

There ain't nothin' left here for me now

A small town boy with American dreams

He was California bound

He said I'm gonna make it

Damned if I don't try

You know I just won't take it

This life won't pass me by

Billy grew into a blue-eyed handsome man

The road it left him hard and lean

He lost his heart to a southern girl

She made him feel just like James Dean

And her name was Rita

She said her love was deep

Billy bought her promises

She could never keep

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Never had a dream come true

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Searched their whole lives through

Billy rode those highway lines

Till they one day brought him home

He took a job

And he took a wife

And he worked real hard for things of his own

Said I'm gonna make it

Damned if I don't try

You know I just won't take it

This life won't pass me by

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Never had a dream come true

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Searched their whole lives through

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Never had a dream come true

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Searched their whole lives through

Strangers in paradise

Long and lonely nights

Never had a dream come true
