Lyrics

Well I drove up to LA in first and second gear.
It's hard to navigate the sea of red lights here
And I ask why, why, why do I do it?

Cause I've never had a dream or seen a vision clear.
This life that I lead just seemed to grow from inside here
And I try, try, try - I try just to prove it.

Chorus:
But when you love something
This simple life can take wing
And fly beyond the petty things
If you sign away your life on the dotted line somewhere between
Love and commitment

50 bucks in gas to play a gig for free
Someone in the back yell's "Play Freebird for me!!"
With my heart on the line,
Whatever, buddy!

Yeah 'cause there's just one thing in life I've learned before I commit
To know one day these dreams will seem the opposite
Of when I signed, signed, signed up for them.

Chorus
Cause when you love something
This simple life can take wing
And rise above the petty things
If you sign away your life on the dotted line somewhere between
Love & Commitment

Solo

Still I drive up to L.A. in first and second gear
The Santa Ana winds now blow the city clear
Yeah, I know why, why, why - I know why I do it.
