lyrics

Pack it in and head for the coast
Lost summer running from these ghosts
Oceanside might be the place for me
Empty bottles floating out to sea
I’ll be gone

Maybe I’ll grow out my hair
Show the world that I’m not a square
Spend my days like a beatnik on the road
Walk around with wine stains on my coat
I’ll be gone

Give up work and head for the hills
Build a shack and tend to my stills
Waste your life just driving around
and around and around
Want a way to stick it to the man?
Sell your crap and live in a van
Waste your life just driving around
and around and around

I don’t want to hang around no more
Never ending summer’s such a bore
chasing down those Walden dreams
not as glamorous as it might seem
You’ll be gone, but you’ll come back home
