Another perfect day   they keep piling up.   I got happiness that I can't maintain   so beginner's luck.      I had shoes to fill   walkin' barefoot now.   Can't tell north from south   but no split hairs gonna get me down.      I'm stayin' above the flat line   I'm ahead of the curve.   Take a piece of the sunshine with me   on a red eye flight to another world.      It isn't any trouble   if you wanna come with me.   I know it's out of the question, honey   but I sure could use the company   and a place to be.      Now the sky is pink   rooftop swimmin' pool.   I'm not carefree, no   I'm free to care   I just never do.      All the bags are checked   and the reasons why.   Yesterday lingers on   that's the peace you keep when you say goodbye.      You can get what you want now   knock it out of the park.   Bury it by the river   Easy, there's a search party but it's gettin' dark.      I won't hold you to nothin'   I wanna make that plane.   Probably end up a stranger, crazy   but I'm still hoping there's another way   and a place to stay.      What a scene has got you sentimental   when the night comes, when the night comes loose.   All the things you've put up on the mantle   What a shame. What a shame.   It's old news.      I'm stayin' above the flat line   I'm ahead of the curve.   Take a piece of the sunshine with me   on an all night drive to another world.      You can get what you want now   knock it out of the park.   Probably end up a drifter, lonely   but I'm still hoping for a change of heart   and a place to start.
