Painting Memories Lyrics

Don't live where I come from

Didn't do what I dreamed of

And I don't need no one

If I had to have someone

Least she was a slow one

The back alley of my life

Nothing back here but streetlights

People's garbage and hobos

And I'll tell you what I know

Each one is just like mine

So I'll sit, watch the sun turn around

Think about, my little hole in the ground

If anyone wants to hear what I have seen

I'll be here, just painting my memories

I remember my grandpa

Going off on what he saw

I finally get why he did that

Coming off like a dingbat

Life is different from this side

Young people are crazy

Like an army of babies

Shouting out "if only"

Thinking life moves slowly

But yesterday that was me

So I'll sit, watch the sun turn around

Think about, my little hole in the ground

If anyone wants to hear what I have seen

I'll be here, just painting my memories

When I finally kick off

Lay me down on a silk cloth

Fried chicken and stories

Sad moments and glories

Only party I'd go for

So I'll sit, watch the sun turn around

Think about, my little hole in the ground

If anyone wants to hear what I have seen

I'll be here, just painting my memories

I'll be here, just painting my memories
