Another perfect day They keep piling up I got happiness that I can maintain Some beginner’s luck
I had shoes to fill Walking barefoot now Can’t tell north from south But no split hair’s gonna get me down, no
I’m stayin’ above the flat line And I’m ahead of the curve Take a piece of the sunshine with me On a red-eye flight to another world
It isn’t any trouble If you wanna come with me I know it’s out the question, honey But I sure could use the company And a place to be
Now the sky is pink Rooftop swimming pool I’m not carefree, no I’m free to care I just never do
All the bags are checked And the reasons why Yesterday lingers on That’s the piece you keep when we say goodbye
You can get what you want now Knock it out of the park Bury it by the river Easy, there’s a search party But it’s getting dark
I won’t hold you to nothing I wanna make that plain Prob’ly end up a stranger and crazy But I’m still hoping there’s another way And a place to stay
What a scene has got you sentimental When the knot comes, when the knot comes loose All the things you’ve put upon your mantle What a shame, what a shame It’s old news
I’m staying above the flat line I’m ahead of the curve Take a piece of the sunshine with me on a all night drive to another world
You can get what you want now Knock it out of the park Prob’ly end up a drifter and lonely But I’m still hoping for a change of heart And a place, a place, a place to start
