Paint The Town Beige |
I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road |
Just burned out on all that talk about the motherlode |
I traded for a songbird, a bigger piece of sky |
When I miss the good old days, I can’t imagine why |
Still I get restless and drive into town |
I cruise once down Main Street and turn back around |
It’s crazy, but God knows I don’t act my age |
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige |
Down along the river, past the swimming hole |
You can find your peace of mind with just a fishing pole |
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end |
And never stop believin' in that dream around the bend |
But still I get restless and drive into town |
My radio playing, my window rolled down |
It’s crazy, but God knows I don’t act my age |
Like an old desperado who paints the town beige |
Deep down in the winter, time slows to a crawl |
There’s really nothing much to do until the first spring thaw |
It’s then I get to thinkin' I must have gone insane |
Memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train |
Still I get restless and drive into town |
Watch the world through a windshield as it all comes unwound |
It’s crazy, but God knows I don’t act my age |
Like those old desperados who paint the town beige |
I gave up the fast lane |
