JR & the Motivation - I Used to Be an Outlaw Lyrics

I used to be an outlaw
I was looking for the light of the lightning falling from your window
And I kept all of your forms, your shapes, and your expressions and filed them away
And while I still dream about you its always the same dream

I'm waiting in your lobby, my coat's already on
I'm waiting for your body to follow me around
What did you see? Yea, about 5'3." What did I do wrong?
I know they tried to warn me but I never saw the light

The Cincinnati native
Walks from the corner to the drug store, knocks three times on a motel door
He used to believe he could have the same dreams as the children of astronauts
And he is looking for that dream as he disappears in a motel room

I'm waiting in your lobby, my coat's already on
I'm thinking about your body and how it all went wrong
Stories are never over, just suddenly they end
That's how it goes with most of us but I never saw the light

I never saw the light
