tired of seven hours a day
and weekends that go too fast
i set my sights on boardwalk streets
and a sunset that will last
i grabbed my coat and told my friends
that i was going away
just a few long miles and a few good smiles
and i'll have my love today
ohh, lie, lie, lie
why must i look so hard?
ohh, lie, lie, lie
must i be so far?
intent on a life that is what i dream
i set out to be free
turned my check on my beliefs
with whatever in front of me
sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope'
and 'hey man, you got to be good'
but if i want i'll sit and stare
all day at the clouds like i wished i could
and just for tonight
a place to rest my head
my syes were heavy
but i found no peace in this bed
with the silence around
i felt so alone again
well, i closed my eyes with lifted hands
and i fell to my knees instead
tired of tears and a broken heart
and love that fades too fast
i set my sights for golden streets
and a joy that will ever last...
