Song Description

Longing for a simpler life in the country

Lyrics

Just finished my 4th cup of coffee
Since I started work at 10pm
I swear this graveyard shift will be the death of me
It'll be sunrise before my time ends

This life has got me twisted up, turned around, upside down
And sideways, with no end in sight
I close my eyes - imagine that I'm headed out of town
To those lazy days and clear starry nights

I'm dreaming I'm sitting out on the front porch with Andy and Aunt B
Talking 'bout the crops and the scorching' hot weather - sipping ice cold tea
These long, long nights - these restless days - are makin' me go crazy
That same ol', same ol', same ol, same - is sounding really good to me
I want that same ol', same ol'

Last night I called up grandpa
And I asked him what was new
He said you know, it's the same ol' same ol'
Yeah, I wish I could say that too

This life has got me twisted up, turned around, upside down
And sideways, with no end in sight
I remember Grandpa said "take the wheel, slow it down, turn around"
"And it will be alright"

I'm dreaming I'm sitting out on the front porch with Andy and Aunt B
Talking 'bout the crops and the scorching' hot weather - sipping ice cold tea
These long, long nights - these restless days - are makin' me go crazy
That same ol', same ol', same ol, same - is sounding really good to me
I want that same ol', same ol'

This life of burning that candle at both ends has to go
This is more than I can handle - I just wanna watch the green grass grow

I'm dreaming I'm sitting out on the front porch with Andy and Aunt B
Talking 'bout the crops and the scorching' hot weather - sipping ice cold tea
These long, long nights - these restless days - are makin' me go crazy
That same ol', same ol', same ol, same - is sounding really good to me

Yeah gimme that same ol', same ol'
I want that same ol, same ol'
Yeah gimme that same ol', same ol'
I want that same ol', same ol
