Steve Wynn – Annie & Me lyrics

Annie and me, as far as we can see
We're not taking any bets, just playing the house
Slashing the tires on the restrictive ride
That keeps us in the lane between the lanes

And we just never slow down
It doesn't even hurt when we hit the ground
We don't slow down for anyone
Who says it's so hard when when you get old?

We don't shy from taking chances, we double our romances
Got plenty of time for everyone
Sometimes we share, sometimes we're not there
Love is the drug for the young Americans

And we just never slow down
It doesn't even hurt when we hit the ground
We don't put on the bricks for anyone
Who says, aah, it's so hard when you get old?

We just never slow down
It doesn't even hurt when we hit the ground
We don't slow down for anyone
Who says it's so hard when you get old?

Annie is only fifteen and a half
I'm barely a year older than that
Stripping down naked on the Hollywood Bowl
Stuffing our trunk with all the things that we stole

And we just never slow down
It doesn't even hurt when we hit the ground
We don't put on the bricks for anyone
Who says, aah, it's so hard when you get old?

I woke up and I thought that you were here with me
But I knew that it wasn't reality
Holding on to every day is tougher as time pulls away
Trying not to let go of the feeling
But something always gets in the way

Like dreams that fall through the cracks
And friends who will never come back
And all of the strangers you see
And just how cruel they can be
And it's so hard to get by sometimes
It's just so hard to get by

Annie and me, as far as we can see
We're not taking any bets, just playing the house
Annie and me, as far as we can see
We're not taking any bets but just playing the house
