Henley Don Shangri La lyrics

PLAY DON HENLEY Henley Don Shangri La video Every day`s a new day
That`s what I`ve been told
Try to hold your head high
The world runs hot and cold

It`s hard to follow footprints
in the shifting sand
Another thirsty rider
Behind the caravan

You had no idea
just what was waiting out there
You never thought you`d carry the weight
of the world
On your pretty blond hair

This ain`t no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain`t no Shangri-La
Nobody knows no Shangri-La

Hey! There`s a whole lotta people
wonderin` who you are
They think you walk without a care in the world
But they`ve been wrong so far

This ain`t no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain`t no Shangri-La
Nobody knows no Shangri-La

No one can decide
What we all must outrun
Who`s gonna carry the weight of the world
Until we learn to stop
and do what must be done?

This ain`t no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain`t no Shangri-La
Nobody Knows no Shangri-La
