Sergio Mendes - Righteous Life lyrics

I rode on your highways Played cards with some of your gods Kicked a long stone at sunset Watched the ways you smile and nod You smile and nod It's a righteous life we're leading friends Heavy dues, pay the fee But no one else notices Destiny except the free, except the free You can tell it in a smile sometimes Arrogance, haughty, and cruel Smiling at some stranger Like a tarot deck card fool It's a righteous life we're leading friends Heavy dues, pay the fee But no one else notices Destiny except the free, except the free Stories that they're weaving now Are part fiction, sometimes ruse You can tell where the real part ends And it's time to ask for truth, to ask for truth To ask for truth It's a righteous life we're leading friends Heavy dues, pay the fees But no one else notices Destiny except the free, except the free
