lyrics

Way past my prime
Hanging on a vine down in these strawberry fields
Swinging in the wind like a willow
As loud as a white bellbird
You can hear it in Tobago

Here I’m Wasting time
Spend another dollar and save a dime
And when it goes,
Just take another rhyme or a riddle
And turn into another love song with a fiddle

(Chorus)
Play me a day in the life
Cause Old times were good times
From lookout Joe
You know It makes me think of the Frio
Spending our summers down on a black tube
and with the sun burning bright on our pale skin
Now I’m 4 beers in, just right
And there goes the sun down for a hill country night

I see my life as a river
Making its way around this hillside
With all these twist and turns you’d think I’d ever learn
What it feels like to be running wild
When the night time breeze chills the water
It’s cold enough that you can’t breathe
And this rope swing I’m hanging on
tell me I'm fine if i let it go
cause it’s plenty deep

(Chorus)
Play me a day in the life
Cause Old times were good times
From lookout Joe
You know It makes me think of the Frio
Spending our summers down on a black tube
and with the sun burning bright on our pale skin
Now I’m 4 beers in, just right
And there goes the sun down for a hill country night

And there goes the sun down for a hill country night
And there goes the sun down for a hill country night
