Drivin’ home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt
Then I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he
And tell me what he means to you
I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you’d be letting go
Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
There's times I've bin mistaken
There's times I thought I'd bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could
This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you’ve thrown it all away
Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right

Sounds amazing still! Seems like a little of the rasp is gone, and there’s more of a Don Henley feel to his voice. But still BA for sure. Pure and clean performance.

@@BryanAdamslive I first experienced the music in 1984 while mining gold for 8 years on the Bonanza Creek just outside of Dawson City, YTC. As an American, I was privileged to be introduced to an abundance of brilliant Canadian songwriters and performers during that time. Bryan Adams, April Wine, Heart, Rush, Triumph, The Guess Who, BTO, Loverboy and The Band just to name a few. And I still listen to them all to this very day! At 63 years old, I am currently living in Puyallup Washington and actively dying of Kidney Disease, but I still hope to get a few more live performances of some of these greats under my belt before I go that wonderful place where the music never stops! I am quite sure I will meet some dear friends there that I have never met before but have been invisibly connected to through their music my whole life! They are the color in the painting of my life!
