What Have We Got To Lose?

from Just a Few Tunes by Blake Farha

lyrics

Every day when I awake
I'm weighed down by my heavy mind,
and I swear I'm being strangled by
the very sheets upon my bed.
I don't know what I've been looking for,
but I know I haven't found it here.
I hate this place, this city life just moves to fast for me.
Oh, that coast is looking mighty fine today.
Oh, that coast is looking mighty fine today.
Now listen close, my love, I've got a crazy idea.

My feet got to walk, my feet got to walk away,
but they don't want to walk all alone,
so baby won't you please tag along?

I got 20 bucks and half a tank of gas.
I don't know how far that's going to take us,
but I think that we should find out.

We'll pack up a bag and throw it in the trunk,
turn up some tunes and roll those windows down,
hit the gas and drive on down the road.

And where that road'll lead God only knows.
I know it can't be any worse than here.
At the very least we'll have a tale to tell.

If we don't go right now we're going to see
that this is such a terrible idea.
We'll lose our nerve and be stuck here once again.

So please stop looking like your so concerned.
I don't know what's going to happen either,
but we're going to have a good time finding out.

So grab your shoes and put them on your feet.
We haven't got a second we can lose.
It's time to blow this town.
