There's a palm tree where the pine used to be And there's an ocean right down the street And you can play baseball twelve months a year It only rains a couple of days and those days are here Said she was leaving Had her bag in hand Said living my life She could not stand But I told her That I'd make a change Yeah she's heard it all before And it still don't mean a thing I had my dreams since I was a kid Keeping my head down Not caring where I fit I know she loved me A deep and true love But riding down a one-way street Just ain't big enough There's a palm tree where the pine used to be And there's an ocean right down the street And you can play baseball twelve months a year It only rains a couple of days and those days are here She had her dreams since she was a girl Said she felt like she couldn't say a word So she suppressed them for a while And you can keep it all locked up 'Til the damn thing goes wild And freedom comes at a cost Yeah, that open road looks good now if you ain't lost And when daytime turns to night Well you're sitting there wondering If the choices you made were right There's a palm tree where the pine used to be And there's an ocean right down the street And you can play baseball twelve months a year It only rains a couple of days and those days are here Those clouds open up And that clay turns to mud Well I bring it all home And I don't clean it up I've got one pair of jeans Ain't that enough Oh, I know you hate to see me looking rough Oh, I know you hate to see me looking rough There's a palm tree where the pine used to be And there's an ocean right down the street And you can play baseball twelve months a year It only rains a couple of days and those days are here Those days are here
