route 99 blues

by bofa xesjum

as a child i always hated the law of gravity and had dreams of burrowing to the center off the earth while dad read his newspaper if i ever get the chance and i am not too busy that day i will tell jody to go away and stop bothering me how was i supposed to know they were caught making whoopee behind the bandstand but they gave me my first big break every day i’ve got the blues and every day i look for a new thrill they tell me i should know better i had dreams once, big dreams you would laugh if i told you i know, i know, you’ve heard it all before as a child i hated the chains of society and being told i should keep busy but i loved the sound of the rain this world isn’t big enough for me i heard that lonesome whistle blow you haven’t heard it quite the same way i was a strange child as you know all too well don’t make me point my steely gaze at you forget you ever knew me just a guy who went looking for thrills but was never too busy to help a pal
