robert earl keen - paint the town beige lyrics

Loading...

i gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road
just burned out on all that talk about [incomprehensible]
i traded for a songbird, a bigger piece of sky
when i miss the good old days i can’t imagine why

still i get restless and drive into town
i cruise once down main street and turn back around
it’s crazy but god knows i don’t act my age
like an old desperado who paints the town beige

down along the river, past the swimming hole
you can find your piece of mind with just a fishing pole
and you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
and never stop believing in that dream around the bend

but still i get restless and drive into town
my radio playing, my window roll down
it’s crazy but god knows i don’t act my age
like an old desperado who paints the town beige

deep down in the winter, time slows to a crawl
there’s really nothing much to do until the first spring thaw
it’s then i get to thinking i must have gone insane
memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train

still i get restless and drive into town
watch the world through a windshield as it all comes unwind
it’s crazy but god knows i don’t act my age
like those old desperadoes who paint the town beige
i gave up the fast lane
