No psychedelic tunes this week! I decided to tone it down a bit and go with a chill song. It's a little sad but I dig it. A fictional tune about a guy living in L.A. that is tired and unhappy with years of the crazy lifestyle and is ready to move out to the country to decompress. This probably could have qualified for last week's challenge about aging as well...
lyrics
I'm so tired I'm out of reach
Park my car out on the beach
Sit right back enjoy the sand
Think about how I'm a different man
The years have gone by
Many times I've turned the cheek
And I think I've left myself to go to sleep
How long can this go on
How much can time carry
And all I hear is your mileage may vary
Now the L.A. life can wear you down
These junkie streets and hollywood crowns
It's hard as hell to find my way
When I'm pouring rain on a sunny day
The years have gone by
Many times I've turned the cheek
And I think I've left myself to go to sleep
How long can this go on
How much can time carry
And all I hear is your mileage may vary
It's time to bail and drop this place
And escape from the human race
To rivers, streams and open land
A world that's free with no demands
The years have gone by
Many times I've turned the cheek
And I think I've left myself to go to sleep
How long can this go on
How much can time carry
And all I hear is your mileage may vary
