On a lover's leap with a freeway view. Sittin' on my hood, thinkin' bout you. Goin' over in my mind, every kiss. And every fight. Yeah, the fool on the hill is beaten.
Damn I hope no one dies, on this night shift tonight. Always lit up like a Roman candle, everybody comes in like they're looking for a fight. I'll have to tell his family, as he rides off to heaven.
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky. That's the place where I trace my bloodline. And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone. 'You will never leave Harlan alive'.
Head south in the mornin':. Just take off with no warnin'.. Tell your boss you need a change of scene.. Head south if you're feelin',. Your homesick heart is reelin',.
What if no one would kill for their religion. What if no one ever had to go to war. What if the children of the world made world decisions. Paint-by-number hatred wasn't hanging around anymore.
"Antithesis of the 'Boot Scootin Boogie'. Right up my alley.". . I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck. Drinking Old Crow whisky, hot 7-up.
A surf rock man from the land of plenty. Surf rock mess with no surf but pine trees. Struck by being ashamed of your old space. . Just wanting that mean heat.
Put one foot in front of the other. Steppin into the here and now. I'm not sure just where I'm goin. but I will get there anyhow. . I got this far with no direction.
The blues the come and the blues they go. Don't hold your breath, they'll be coming back. Make you step outside that life you lead. Feel the blues fade to black.
Walking away again. Seems like I know the back of your head. Better than the, better than the front. . But hey, you don't see me, don't see me stopping you.
Theres no way. (No way). No way. (No way). Nowhere to go. (Theres no way out). . No way. (No way). No way. (No way). Nowhere to turn. (Theres no way out).

I drink too much and I smoke too much. I laugh at all my own jokes too much. I'm hard to tell and soft to touch. And easy at sayin' goodbye. . I broke your heart, a thousand times.
I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me. I've got the sun in the sky, all the water surrounds me, oh you know. God, I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose.
There's been a whole lot said about your city living. They told us that the streets were paved with gold. And some of us believed 'em, left our home and came looking.
