65 Days In L.A.

(album: Less Wise - 2010)

All I did was drink all day in that hell they call L.A
A southern born man wants a gun in his hand
When he sees how they run that place
Never say I'm better than anyone
Cause Lord knows that I'm not
But that California summer wasn't that hot

We went out there searching for something
Instead we all got lost
We were heading out west and the plans were going south
Never counted no cost
By the time I hit Arizona I was on my way to see
65 Days in L.A. is enough for me

And I would drink 'till the sun came up
And I was trying to find myself
But it's hard to find yourself in a state like that
I was born a running man and anywhere I'm free
But 65 days in L.A. is enough for me

Been a few good folks out there any and everywhere
We were running down the same things, all about insane
Thinking we'd find them out there
Stepping over bums on the sidewalk
To get back to my front door
And by the middle of August, couldn't take any more

So I loaded up what little I had left
And I bought two packs of smokes
I was hauling back to my girl, all back to my own
I was born a running man and anywhere I'm free
But 65 days in L.A. is enough for me

65 days anywhere is too much for me
Too much for me
