Blues Traveler - The Best Part lyrics

Music & Lyrics: John Popper

Well what do you know here we are again

Been a long time I can't remember when

Well I wrote another one and I guess who it's for

Don't mind if I 'm embarrassed I can't take it anymore

You know I travel the world but I don't go no place

And I got you to blame and the smile on your face

You know I look in your eyes I see a part of me there

So excuse my directness, but I just don't care

What I think I'm talking about is a last ditch chance

Don't care about the likelihood or circumstance

It seems I am still here and I am waiting for you

And I've no reason no time and an excellent view

Of your eyes in my head and it's killing me

But the possibilities are thrilling me

So I guess I'll sit right here with nothing better to do

And to top it all of you know the best part is...

I'm gonna let you on in on a big surprise

My heart is where the eagle flies

Yeah I'm the master of my destiny

That's why I need you right here with me

You see I've come to learn that without you around

I might as well be standing on the ground

And with you with me and with me with you

There's not a goddamn thing thar we could not do

I'm not talking about us never being alone

I'm just suggesting we make the world our home

You've got to fly free and so do I

And this way we'd never need to say good-bye

But instead things like "see you soon"

And "explore and play"

And "the one you love is not far away"

"But safe in your heart to see you through"

And to top it all of you know the best part is that I

I'm gonna take you take you by the hand

You know even General Custer had to make a stand

I'll drop in from the skies or I'll move in slow

But there's so damn much that I want you to know

So take a look around you tell me what do you see?

Then take those eyes and take a look at me

You know you see things that others don't

So if you think I'll go away, I won't

You see my engine's blown and it is time to punt

And there's an element of danger pulling off this stunt

But the survey says that I don't seem to mind

And you're the adventure I'm trying to find

There's a whole lot of things that other people have said

But I don't care if I'm correct or if it's all in my head

So damn the torpedoes and cock a doodle-doo!

And to top it all of you know the best part is...

That I love you

I'm singing I love you

Please, I'm down on my knees

In the north and the south and the east and the west

Make it the very, very, very

best best part best part
