“The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful The skies are too clear, life’s so easy today The beer is too cold, the daiquiri’s too fruitiful There’s no place like home, when it’s this far away I don’t care what they say”
“Well, I might have gone fishin’, I got to thinkin’ it over The road to the river is a mighty long way Well, it must be the season, no rhyme or no reason I’m takin’ it easy, it’s my lazy day.”
“Fell into A sea of grass And disappeared among The shady blades... Children all Ran over me Screaming tag! You are the one!
He trips her as Her sandals fail She says stop! I’m a girl... Whose fingernails are made Of mother’s pearl...
Yellow buttercup Helicopters Orange buttercat Chasing after The crazy bee Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend Don’t wear no shoes Her nose is painted pepper Sunlight... She loves me I mean it’s serious As serious can be...
She sings a song and I listen to what it says: If you want a friend Feed any animal... There was so much space I cut me a piece With some fine wine It brought peace to my mind In the summertime... And it rolled
“I walked in the restaurant For something to do The waitress yelled at me And so did the food And the water tastes funny When you’re far from your home But it’s only the thirsty That hunger to roam”
“All the peacock people left their plumes in a pile They look good to a fault And the Gulf water’s warm like a bathtub Full of lavender and epsom salt See a bleach blond boy put his long board down Help his girl get her sunscreen on I thought about you in your little house Think you’re lonely but I could be wrong”
“You never know what the world’s gonna show you, It ain’t up to you. You always think it’s gonna happen to another person, And it’s never ever gonna happen to you. You got your friends, you got your money, Got your family, got your honey, You think you got a million days. But then life comes along And it knocks you right down to the ground and that’s why I say,
Everybody oughta hug somebody, at least once a day. And everybody oughta kiss somebody, at least once a day. Everybody’s gonna miss somebody, at least once a day. And everybody gotta love somebody, every day...”
“I been thinking lately about the people I meet The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet And I’m wondering if I’m gonna see tomorrow.
Father forgive us for what we must do You forgive us, we’ll forgive you We’ll forgive each other till we both turn blue Then we’ll whistle and go fishing in heaven.”
“You bring the ice chest and I’ll get the bait Meet me at the lake and don’t be late cause All this hanging around is draggin’ me down I gotta get behind the wheel and get the hell out of town Too many people, too many cars Too many nights and too many bars My noggin’s gettin’ soggy and my spirits are saggin’ Time to take a ride in my blue water wagon”
“Hair blowing in the hot wind Time hanging from a clothespin There’s no sorrow that the sun’s not gonna heal I smell the leather of your new car Drive through the desert after nightfall Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves”
“Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our Forefathers harnessed before us. Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings. It’s a son of a gun of a chorus.”
