Eighty-Eight Steps

Finally out in the open

Straight road ahead of me

I trace a ribbon through these fields of gold

I left bad things behind me

For once at the right time

Once in a lifetime

Without a second to spare

I got out through the back door

This is a new day now

Like no day before

For once at the right time

Once in a lifetime

88 steps a minute

As I'm walking down the miles

There's money in my pocket

And the sun'll be out awhile

I'm in the right place at the right time

At the right time

For once in a lifetime

I keep on walking

Through fields of gold

Something good is coming

At the end of the road

For once at the right time

Once in a lifetime

I always feel this way

At the start of everyday

Like today will be different

And I'll get to walk through the front door

For once in a lifetime

Once at the right time
