OREGON

[Verse] Oregon Coast, I hit a pub Shot of rum and a Henny and Coke I saw a man, eighty-one, maybe seventy-four Said, "What's up?", got a beer, started making a toast Told him I was on the road working my ass off So one day I can kick back, sit and relax more He did a little laugh, now he laughing his ass off Leaned in close 'bout to give me a crash course "Wanna hear a story, son? It's not long, won't last 'til the morning come Know I look a little rough when I'm off the drugs Let me tell you 'bout my life, won't cost you none" I said, "Go 'head" He said, "I was born in a small town Living was easy, wasn't nobody needy It was happiness all 'round My cousin would visit me from the city And tell me about the wealthy and busy Money and women and clubs Company dinners and drugs You can get a big house Chef in the kitchen, what's up?" I was just simple and young, fishing and living it up Did a lil' work but I really just did what I want Anyway, I figured I would try out a new place Find me a good job, hustle and get paid Money to get made, grind going into the nighttime Little stressed out, marijuana and white wine Step by step on the ladder I climbed up Wishing I was home, on a hike or a bike ride I was living in the fast life, getting this cash right Noticing it came with a bad price Five, ten, twenty years passed me by And that grind shit ran me dry Made M's, in the field I was in so it felt like time To retire and kick back and relax my mind And so I moved to a small town Living was easy, wasn't nobody needy, it was happiness all 'round Now I was simple and old thinking this living was low Just to come right back to a familiar home Ain't it a trip, though? Could've been living like this, though Lake house good as it get, though Before you hit the road Make sure that what you covet is better than what you own Just wanted to let you know
