I Was Only Sleeping

I used to sit on top of the charts
Making hit records, breaking little girl's hearts
Party every night, all around the globe
Drinking martinis in a satin robe
Drivin' round the town in a limousine
Me and my buddies, recreating the scene
Then like the night turned into the day
I was understandably fading away
But I'm back on the scene and I'm starting today
'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping

My locomotive came off of the track
I've been to hell and it's good to be back
But there was a time when I lost my drive
Fell over the hill, barely alive
A pretty little woman got a hold on me
Gave me back my life and my dignity
She told me something that I believe is true
She said I'm gonna make a better man out of you
And now I'm here and you can see that
'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping
Was only sleeping
Sleeping
Was only sleeping

Now I can see there's more of life to be done
I'm walking so proud, I got my face in the sun
This time I got the bull right by the horns
Life's much better than it was before
Some did me wrong I must admit
So I walk in the truth, it makes it easy to give
I've planned a lot, still got a long way to go
I'd rather stand by myself and go with the flow
Can't wait to see what life has in store
'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping
'Cause I ain't dead, I was only sleeping
Was only sleeping
Sleeping
Was only sleeping
