Lyrics Waylon Jennings – Ivory Tower

I’ve been a believer in many things
I’ve past a sign post or two
I never could see why the bad folks don’t change
Or why the good ones want to

Everyone’s left us alone
To our ways thinking we might have been right
But I’m not so fond of this being alone
Especially this time of night

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind

I’ve tried to look to myself for my strength
Look to a song for release
Kept all the people I could at arms lenght
The ones that I never could please

I’ve been refining the way that I feel
Towards all the ones who are near
I’ve been refining the way that I look
For all the women for years

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind

Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind
