That's Alright

(album: Broken Record - 2010)

You say you want to change
But you don't want to change
You say that it was living in the city
Made you do those stupid ass things
Now the country air is clean
And the living is right
Anytime you want to leave
Momma that's all right

To see New England in the Fall
We took the Holland Tunnel
Intent to make the journey to the centre
Of the heart of what's the matter with you
To take the waters on the mountain
We didn't budget for the downturn
And now the well is running dry
Momma that's all right

Loving you is hard enough
Leaving just more of the same
Anytime I get me far enough
Your gravity kicks in again
Till I'm your lonely satellite
Hey Momma that's all right

So now you say you want to live
Out on Martha's Vineyard
You say we'll get a little plot of land and
Build our own damn French farmhouse
There's no depression in France
They're too busy with the romance
And it's a starry starry night
If Momma that's all right

Loving you is hard enough
Leaving just more of the same
Anytime I get me far enough
I come tumbling down again
Till I'm your lonely satellite
Hey Momma that's all right

To see New England in the Fall
And watch the colours turn to gold
And then to put the cause of the condition
In the rear view and then to let it go
Rented Bonneville sedan
Road map in my hand
No resolution in sight
Momma that's all right

Loving you is hard enough
Leaving just more of the same
Anytime I get me far enough
I just come tumbling down again
I'm just your lonely satellite
Momma that's all right
That's all right
That's all right
