[Verse 1]
A little birdie whispered in my ear
You've been cooking up a world of fear
Put your hands in things you shouldn't have known
He was riding in the danger zone

Well you had us all fooled, with your quarterback smile
And your crocodile tears, there for a while
My paradigm shifted and man you're making me shout

[Chorus]
Hey, from here on out
Friends are gonna be hard to come by
Left us wondering what it all was about
He had it easy then he chose the hard way
Walk that lonely road in a shadow of a doubt
From here on out

[Verse 2]
Should our paths ever decide to cross
You may wonder what the trouble costs
That don't matter now, life goes on
Hallelujah, the trouble's gone

No sense in holding purpose and it's better to forgive
These are things that I must learn, to practice while I live
And my paradigm shifted, man you're making me shout
[Chorus]
Hey, from here from out
Friends are gonna be hard to come by
Left us wonderin' what it all was about
He had it easy, man he chose the hard way
Walk that old, lonely road in the shadow of a doubt

Hey, from here on out
Let the bugle blow a song of peacetime
Left us wonderin' what it all was about
You may deny it but you carry it with you
Down that old lonely road in the shadow of a doubt
Yeah, from here on out
