Rolled on out of Motown back in 91Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sunBreaking hearts in theme parksSmiled for anyoneWho held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese."Wound up on the telly with a twinkle in my eyeThe twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin' highAnd everything seemed so absurdUntil the night I finally heardThe sound of Coltrane, it brought me to my kneesThere's a long drive straight through the nightStarin' out the window, looking for the first signs of daylightJust hold on tight with all of your mightYou see it takes the time it takes to get it rightSo I pedaled across the country wound up here in HollywoodI left my high school sweetheart when I realized I couldAnd she became a movie starI took to sleeping in my carStill singing songs about her to this dayI drove myself to New York City chasin' love againShe moved me to tears and then I wound up movin' inBut that Apple got the best of meSongtexteSo I packed up the rest of meAnd I grabbed a cab said, "Straight to JFK"There's a long drive straight through the nightStarin' out the window, looking for the first signs of daylightJust hold on tight with all of your mightYou see it takes the time it takes to get it rightNow I'm back in Hollywood, this guitar in my handThese days I'm only using words that I can understandSinging songs I'll carry onKeep at it 'til I'm dead and goneAnd maybe then my gravestone will say:There's a long drive straight through the nightStarin' out the window, looking for the first signs of daylightJust hold on tight with all of your mightYou see it takes the time it takes to get it rightThey say it takes the time it takes to get it right (third time's a charm)You see it takes the time it takes to get it right Aus Songtexte Mania
