Well I guess you got me red handed
but it’s not really how I planneded
See, I cut out of school early
because I had the world to see
I thought one day I’d rule the world
but that was only in the eyes of my girl.
I spent years in the creative mines spinning tales
and getting locked up and paying my friends bails
I paid my dues working from one coast to the other
and I wouldn’t trade my life for any other…
But I do have regrets, but I pay them no mind
since I don’t want to be resentful to my kind…

I guess that’s not supposed to be an excuse
but after a while I stopped seeing the use
I work my days and night away, for too little too late
and then I look at my life and wonder what’s in fate
Do I just fall off the planet in my retractable hood
Do I think I know the answers, or more, are they understood.
I saw my parents grow old poor and I couldn’t stand it anymore
I moved out down to the keys, and didn’t hear them banging on my door…

I spread my path across the great northern plain,
and I’d do it all over again
I’d ride across, not fly up in the sky
since you don’t get the joyful countryside
Traffic’s a bitch, I know you’d say
but I wouldn’t have it any other way…

Meandering through the desert headed west
where the heat and endurance puts your ride to the test…
No gas for three hundred miles
where the gas station is all smiles..
The desert at night with it’s stars
and cali with it’s well endowed bars
South bay with the hills and lanes
hopping onto the downtown trains
That cali endo has to get mentioned
since cali has had me so conditioned
For how can you turn down the greenest of green
since it’s not only who you know, but also where you’ve been.
