Avenue Of The Giants

Tall glass of water with a couple screws loose

Boy I was a looker in the prime of my youth.

Left my glory days behind when I left that town

Before working for a living started wearing me down.

Now my knees kinda rattle when it's smelling like rain

And I wonder if i'll ever make it home again.

Took a wrong turn down the Avenue

Of the Ancient Giants trying to catch a view.

As they drew near I heard a beat of a drum

An Ocean of voices singing fee fai foe fum.

Another tourist screaming where'd you learn how to drive,

But I'm distracted by the wonder of just being alive.

Ain't it great?

ain't it strange?

Yeah it's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be.

Sometimes you're down on your luck,

Sometimes you're happy as fuck.

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come.

Time keeps moving like I don't know what

The older I get the more it speeds up.

All the plans that I made when I was twenty one

Seem ridiculous, naive, or downright dumb.

When you're thirty-five you just wake up and go to work,

Then you drink to fall asleep and hope tomorrow don't hurt.

The weekends fly by like a morning dove,

2 weeks of vacation ain't hardly enough.

A bunch of assholes grandpas went made up the rules,

Now they overfilled the prisons and you can't afford the schools.

If I had a choice I'd play guitar all day,

And I'd throw my boss into the Frisco bay.

It ain't great,

And it's strange.

It's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be.

Sometimes you're down on your luck,

Sometimes you're happy as fuck.

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come.

Na-Na-Now I'm broke out in Topanga with holes in my shoes,

Sleeping 'neath the willows and drinking the dew.

In the morning near the glories that grow on the graves,

Going down to the ocean to ignore the waves.

I ain't a jackpot honey, i'm a pretty good time,

And If you wanna boogie you'd better get in line

It ain't great,

But it's strange.

Yeah it's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be.

Sometimes you're down on your luck,

Sometimes you're happy as fuck.

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come.

Sometimes you're just sitting there wondering when tomorrow's gonna come.
