Streamline - Carrie Newcomer

I thought it would get easier as I went along

To make ends meet at the ends of the songs

But I need new boots and you need new gloves

I’m getting' short on patience, and shy on love

For years I believe with an open heart

Now I’m just lookin' for the easy part

When I left that man there was a price to pay

Cause you don’t make much on minimum wage

When you’re back on your own with your life in tow

It’ll cost you more then you would ever know

For years I believed with an open heart

Now I’m just lookin' for the easy part

I can’t go back now I have left it behind

Getting ready to fly, I’m feelin' Streamline

There’s flashin' signs on every street

There’s flshin' eyes in every person I meet

There’s a belief you can live by the things you own

Believin' in the lies told on t.v.

shows

So why in this world of spiritual decay

Do some fall down by some fly away

I can’t go back now I have left it behind

Getting ready to fly, I’m feelin' Streamline

Naomi’s looking frail but her spirit is strong

'Cause she’s 94 years and sill lives on her own

Yeah the world gets heavy but your arms get light

You’re paring down getting ready for flight

For years she believed with an open heart

Now she’s just lookin' at the easy part

She can’t go back now she has left it behind

Getting read to fly, I’m feelin' Streamline

There’s something shimmering like wild birds

People are moving in silence talking without words

Knowing seeing nothin' but still believing

For years I believe with an open heart

Now I’m just lookin' for the easy part

I can’t go back now I have left it behind

Getting read to fly, I’m feeling Streamline
