There's a high wind blowin, & the stars are shining bright, Oh what a night, this is gonna be-- I think I'll let the world sleep without me. I got one eye open, one eye closed. & My thin body's trembling beneath the bedclothes, My hearts beatin' against the roof of my mouth --It's almost time to get out of this house. I got one hand on the radio, one hand on the wheel, I got my right foot on the floorboard,-- & I'm preparing to kill or be killed. There's a high wind blowin', & the stars are shining bright. & The rain upon the tarmac, --helps me sail through the traffic lights, I'm heading down to the dock of the bay, --to feel the power of the waves, I'm gonna move up close to that wind, & Wrestle with the thoughts solitude always brings. Y'see I'm stuck between hell & the deep blue sea, & I know that water's sucked under better man than me, I was just another western guy, --with desires that couldn't be satisfied, So one day, I asked the angels for inspiration, --but the devil bought me a drink, & He's been buying them ever since, He's had the liquor on my tongue --feel like the sea upon the sand, He's had me signing confessions --from this shaking hand, He's had me struggling to hang onto hope-- Like a drunken sailor in a tugboat With a bottle of vodka in my overcoat, & My dog eared bible lost--overboard Y'see he tricked me into temptation, So I've tricked him into this confrontation, I never said I was the man I appeared to be Not the flesh wrapped around the bones of necessity. Or the soul on fire--scribbling thoughts for posterity. I'm gonna have little lucifer, runnin' off to purgatory, --with his tail between his legs, I'm gonna teach him a lesson --he ain't ever gonna forget. All the vultures & crows are fixin up some tombstones But they won't be chewing the meat off my bones. There's a high wind blowin' & the stars are shining bright. Me & him are gonna have a little knife fight, --in the bowels of the big city skyline, Oh this feelin' inside runs dark & deep --Tonight my hearts not thumping --A Mercy Beat I was just another western guy, With desires that couldn't be--satisfied.

If I never get that house That car Or be a superstar And my dreams never come true Will I be satisfied with you? And if no one ever knows my name And my gifts don't bring me fame If everything I have someday I lose Will I be satisfied with you? Don't get me wrong It'd be nice to have nice things And everybody loves the love that all those nice things bring But when the lights turn out and it's just me and you When you ask me to choose then what will I do See, if I gain the world Then I lose my soul Who sticks by my side when my years grow old? So it's not easy but when I think of you I want to be satisfied with you If I never get that house That car Or be a superstar And my dreams never come true Will I be satisfied with you? And if no one ever knows my name And my gifts don't bring me fame If everything I have someday I lose Will I be satisfied with you? It's so easy to think money changes everything But when all the money's gone will I still be happy How much did I cost me searching for celebrity? Did it cost me my life? Was it worth the price? I've been searching for so long for something real Something deeper than what I see out there Took me a while, now my search is through Jesus, I'll be satisfied with you If I never get that house That car Or be a superstar And my dreams never come true Will I be satisfied with you? And if no one ever knows my name And my gifts don't bring me fame If everything I have someday I lose Will I be satisfied with you? Satisfied with you, you Jesus, I want you, all I want When I close my eyes Will I be right by your side? Standing face to face finally Will you be satisfied with me? If I never get that house That car Or be a superstar And my dreams never come true Will I be satisfied with you? And if no one ever knows my name And my gifts don't bring me fame If everything I have someday I lose Will I be satisfied with you? Satisfied with you Satisfied with you, you
