Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)

Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)

 

Took Ventura Boulevard and headed out east

Picked up a hippie preaching about peace

She had some grass to help pass the time

Why is getting high a capital crime?

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

Couldn’t read the speedometer ran out of gas

Wheels spinning in desert sand going nowhere fast

In Arizona we crashed the Hopi dance

We’re all criminals victims of circumstance

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

I was tutoring math but the children revolted

They said I needed a bath and I got insulted

I made a video adding two and two

They say heaven is high why is that true?

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

I would quote Dylan but Guthrie was much better

Some people like Z but W is a finer letter

The words and chords melted in something placid

Uh oh oooh no the grass was laced with acid

 

I was close to understanding the paradox

Of a million doors with a single lock

I had no paper so it’s all on memory

If you don’t have the key you’ll never be free

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues
