Driving
Salinas
Today I saw old man
Sitting on a flat-bed,
Trying to play tune
From the one that he heard before.
The strings were out of tune
And everybody knew that the one he was singing for
Wasn’t listening anymore.
Today I saw old man
Sitting on a flat-bed,
Trying to play tune
From the one that he heard before.
The strings were out of tune
And everybody knew that the one he was singing for
Wasn’t listening anymore.
But he said
I’ve still got just one thing left to say.
Life slides away
So live for today.
Tomorrows never coming anyway.
Sit for awhile.
Never forget her smile.
Don’t lose yourself in yesterday.
Today I saw you waiting
And I was so frustrated.
You know the he’s not coming back.
But you won’t make a move.
The doors have all been closed,
And everybody knows
That there really isn’t all that much
That you’ve got to lose.
But you said
Everything just fell before me.
I just can’t stop
Waiting for the
Man who never loved me to return.
Life slides away
So live for today.
Tomorrow’s never coming anyway.
Open up your eyes.
Try to forget his lies.
Don’t lose yourself in yesterday.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Today I saw old man
Sitting on a flat-bed
Trying to play tune
That he knew that he knew before
And I am just a young man
Looking for some answers
Trying to make some sense of this world
That I adore.
And I say
Life slides away
So live for today.
Tomorrows never coming anyway.
I’ve opened up my eyes.
I won’t accept this life.
Won’t lose myself in yesterday.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
