The restless soul has a home...

Views in Verse - on 'outliers'.

How do you drive away from home when you are already there?

The restless soul has a home... it's called 'the road'

  

Chasin' down the mediocre

(written for JJ Cale style rollin' beat)


Chasin' down the mediocre
Seems it was doomed to end
Chasin' down the mediocre
Bruised and beaten once again


I knew it was over...
My clothes were in the yard
Sure did slam that back door
Mercilessly hard

Chasin' down the mediocre
From the pain of the kill
Chasin' down the mediocre
Rollin down one tree hill

I don't know what I got ( call it...)

A cancer of the soul (but)
Me & anything meaningful
Always ends in a deep black hole

Hey ...chasin' down the mediocre
A hitcher now comes into view
Chasing down the mediocre
Tell me ...What else could I do ...?

She's cute but mighty scruffy
All done in from the road
She shuffles in beside me
Pulls in her humble load

Soon we gets to talking'...
Says she's someone else's wife
Busted, broke and lonely
And headed into strife

Chasin' down the mediocre
Out on the lost highway
Chasin' down the mediocre
Lookin' for a better day

Lights up a reefer
she routinely passes on
Says to me all easy
"we could stop before too long"

She's free and she's open
Laid back as she could be
High on her sassy but
Bent in mediocrity

Oh ...chasin' down the mediocre
Where will all of this end?
Chasin' down the mediocre
There's a cheap room around the bend

Things like this just happen to me
Time and time again
By later on
I am alone
Here I go again...

Not sure where I'm goin'
Don't care where I've bin
Living my life
One day at a time
At the devils whim
At the devils whim...

Hey chasin' down the mediocre
Oh chasin' down...oh...
Oh...
