Bonafide Living

(album: Love In The Wildwood - 2023)

I started talking to
The old man on the corner
He said it feels like yesterday
He moved to California
He said it didn't take very long
You blink and half your life is gone

You can't go
Go back to when things were wonderful
Time keeps racing like a waterfall
Back to the sea
And I'm just trying to do some bonafide living
After all the sacrifices I've given

The old man had a love
A sweet woman named Petunia
He said it feels like yesterday
They met up in Topanga
Just like yesterday from dusk to dawn
Now his sweet girl Petunia is gone

You can't go
Go back to when things were wonderful
Time keeps racing like a waterfall
Back to the sea
And I'm just trying to do some bonafide living
After all the sacrifices I've given

Bonafide living
Bonafide living
Have mercy on me
Bonafide living
Bonafide living
I'm just trying to make a
Bonafide living
Bonafide living
I'm just trying to do some
Bonafide living

He said it didn't take very long
You blink and half your life is gone

You can't go
Go back to when things were wonderful
Time keeps racing like a waterfall
Back to the sea
And I'm just trying to do some bonafide living
After all the sacrifices I've given
