The master and the ‘ New Kid in Town” Don with Deacon Frey. http://www.glennfreyonline.com Don Henley played drums, guitar, and sang vocals all over everything. He is just one of this band that has so much talent. Don has really mellowed as he has aged. He is awesome as ever but I really got a vibe that this band was enjoying playing as much as we were enjoying listening. Life is short. We all now REALLY know it. We lose our friends and honor them as best as we can.
I have met JD Souther several times. Yeah we both love Formula One racing and fast cars…He wrote this song and his name was called off the stage on this night.
There’s talk on the street
It sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody’s watching you
People you meet
They all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down
You look in her eyes
The music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after awhile
You’re lookin’ the other way
It’s those restless hearts that never mend
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you’re not around?
There’s so many things you should have told her
But night after night you’re willing to hold her
Just hold her
Tears on your shoulder
There’s talk on the street
It’s there to remind you
It doesn’t really matter which side you’re on
You’re walking away
And they’re talking behind you
They will never forget you ’til somebody new comes along
Where you’ve been lately? There’s a new kid in town
Everybody loves him
Don’t they?
Now he’s holding her, and you’re still around
Oh, my, my
There’s a new kid in town
Just another new kid in town
Everybody’s talking ’bout the new kid in town
Everybody’s walking like the new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t wanna hear it
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t wanna hear it
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
(Everybody’s talking)
There’s a new kid in town
(People started walking)
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
