lyrics

Perhaps I made it all up
Anyway it came crashing down
Pretty damn lonely ain’t no friends in town
Steppin’ out of battle trying to break it all down to a reasonable size
Done a lot of playing, since the Fourth of July

There’s a tale of a treasure buried under LA
I think an explanation is probably going to be late
Wasting time now you’re thinking you should already be gone
Sure you may cause a big scene but it doesn’t really mean that your wrong

And I’ve been torn and told what to do
Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you
And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring
Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world
Starts to Swing

You come along at a time when the long hard day seems to break at the seams
Sounding like the horns coming straight out of New Orleans
It’s OK man cause I chased it too
The story of the King and the Queen just simply ain’t true

And I’ve been torn and told what to do
Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you
And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring
Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world
Starts to Swing

Basically just burning everything in my way
My hammock is a weapon keeping the world at bay
Standing on a mountain and I’m staring down at he sea
Playing music with the masters and trying to stay in key

And I’ve been torn and told what to do
Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you
And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring
Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world
Starts to Swing
