Another perfect  day
They  keep piling  up
I  got happiness
 that I can't  maintain so beginner's  luck
I  had shoes  to fill
Walkin' barefoot  now
Can't  tell north  from south
 but no  split hair's gonna get  me down now
 add9
 Stayin' 'bove the flat line
I'm  ahead of the curve
Take  a piece of the sunshine  with me
 on a red  eye flight to another  world
 add9
 It isn't any trouble
if  you wanna come with me
I  know it's out of the question,  honey
 but I sure  could use the company
 and a place  to be
Now  the sky  is pink
Roof  top swimmin'  pool
I'm  not care  free, no
 I'm free  to care, I just never  do
All  the bags  are checked
and  the reasons  why
Yesterday lingers  on
 That's the peace  you can keep when you say  goodbye
 add9
 You can get what you want now
Knock  it out of the park
Bury  it by the river
 Easy, there's a search  party but it's gettin'  dark
 add9
 I won't hold you to nothin'
I  wanna make that plain
Probably  end up a stranger  and crazy
 but I'm still  hoping there's another  way
 and a place  to stay
What  a scene  has gotcha' sentimental
when  the night comes,  when the night comes loose
All  the things  you've put  up on  the mantle
 What a shame,  what a shame, it's old news
   add9
 I'm stayin' 'bove the flat line
I'm  ahead of the curve
Take  a piece of the sunshine  with me
 on an all  night drive to another  world
 add9
 You can get what you want now
Knock  it out of the park
Probably  end up a drifter  and lonely
 but I'm still  hoping for a change  of heart
 and a place,  a place, a place to start
