So Far Gone

(álbum: David Shaw - 2021)

Yeah I woke up to the sound of The Kinks in my head
It was playing all night
Through the springs in my bed

Yeah it's summer in the city
And all through the streets
You can smell the ganja
You can feel the beat

In my mind
I'm all shook up
I got a hole in my cup
That I can't fill up

When I'm down and out
And on my own
She's the only thing
That can take me home
Take me home

When you're so far gone
And just barely hanging on
When you can't get what you want
Just find a song
And sing along
Just sing along

La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la

Outside my door
There's a gutter punk strumming
A two string guitar
Kinda sound like Dylan

I can tell by the way
He sings those blues
He ain't lived enough
He ain't paid no dues

Maybe a little high on pills
He ain't got no plan
He's humming a tune
He ain't giving no damn

The best it seems
Is yet to come
That's what I believe
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

When you're so far gone
And just barely hanging on
When you can't get what you want
Just find a song
And sing along
Just sing along

La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la

I was 17 miles past Spirit Lake
When the boulders hit me heavy
Like a killer Cali quake
Screeching like a weasel
In the arms of Big Brother
I walked to the edge to make love my only lover

I can't hide it
I know the truth
It's deep down inside of me
You can't fight it
It's on the loose
Face to face
With the enemy

So if I'm six feet down and dirty
I wanna make it known
That you'll never have to worry
When I'm six feet down and dirty
I want to make it known
That you'll never have to worry

When you're so far gone
And just barely hanging on
When you can't get what you want
Just find a song
And sing along
Just sing along

La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la

Deep down inside of me
Can't fight it, can't, can't fight, fight it
(So far gone)

Walk to the edge to make love my only lover, love my only lover
(So far gone)

Can't, can't fight, fight it
(So far gone)

Walk to, walk to, walk to the edge to make love my only lover
(So far gone)
