Eight Miles Low

Written by Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, and Tom Petersson



When I was a little boy

I dreamed of playing with bigger toys

I just knew what I just knew

What else was I supposed to do



Scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream



Another notch on the bedpost

Another notch on your gun

Put your lips on the list of life

Another notch on your gun



Years gone by and now I'm eight

The girl next door I can't tolerate

She found a patient, oh I give in

She's the nurse with the medicine



Scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream






Another notch on the bedpost

Another notch on your gun

Put your lips on the list of life

You had it all but you're not the only one

Your'e not the only boy



Violins I can hear you call

I found out you don't care at all

Violins tell me what to do

All I want is to play with you



The day that I turned twenty-one

Thought I was the biggest gun

Lusted from your face to view

What else was I supposed to do



Scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream scream dream



Another notch on the bedpost

Another notch on your gun

Put your lips on the list of life

You had it all but you're not the only boy

Your'e not the only one



Violins I can hear you call

I found out you don't care at all

Violins tell me what to do

All I want is to play with you
