Avenue Of The Giants Lyrics

Tall glass of water with a couple screws loose

Boy I was a looker in the prime of my youth

Left my glory days behind when I left that town

Before working for a living started wearing me down

Now my knees kinda rattle when it's smelling like rain

And I wonder if i'll ever make it home again

Took a wrong turn down the Avenue

Of the Ancient Giants trying to catch a view

As they drew near I heard a beat of a drum

An Ocean of voices singing fee fai foe fum

Another tourist screaming where'd you learn how to drive

But I'm distracted by the wonder of just being alive

Ain't it great

ain't it strange

Yeah it's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be

Sometimes you're down on your luck

Sometimes you're happy as fuck

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come

Time keeps moving like I don't know what

The older I get the more it speeds up

All the plans that I made when I was twenty one

Seem ridiculous, naive, or downright dumb

When you're thirty-five you just wake up and go to work

Then you drink to fall asleep and hope tomorrow don't hurt

The weekends fly by like a morning dove

Two weeks of vacation ain't hardly enough

A bunch of assholes grandpas went made up the rules

Now they overfilled the prisons and you can't afford the schools

If I had a choice I'd play guitar all day

And I'd throw my boss into the Frisco bay

It ain't great

And it's strange

It's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be

Sometimes you're down on your luck

Sometimes you're happy as fuck

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come

Na-Na-Now I'm broke out in Topanga with holes in my shoes

Sleeping 'neath the willows and drinking the dew

In the morning near the glories that grow on the graves

Going down to the ocean to ignore the waves

I ain't a jackpot honey, i'm a pretty good time

And If you wanna boogie you'd better get in line

It ain't great

But it's strange

Yeah it's a wonderful and wild damn struggle

To just be

Sometimes you're down on your luck

Sometimes you're happy as fuck

Sometimes you just sit there wondering

When tomorrow's gonna come.

Sometimes you just sitting there wondering when tomorrow's gonna come
