SO FAR ALONG
go ahead and call me, call me a fool
cause I know what they'll do to you
gonna chew you up, it's gonna be a rout
gonna use you up, there ain't no doubt
just go ahead and leave, if that's what you need
just go ahead and leave, but leave it to me
And I'll be here, and I will remain true.
And I'll be here, with nothing to do.
It's so far along
It's so far along
It's so far along
yeah we're halfway, we are halfway, halfway home
go ahead and leave, if that's what you need

I'm gonna be here, I'm always your friend
go ahead and leave, if that's what you need
go ahead and leave, just leave it to me
and I'll be here, I will remain true
I'll be here, with not much to do
It's so far gone

HUMMINGBIRD
Hummingbird came by today
Hovered a bit then he flew away
Mr. Hummingbird where did you go?
Humming bird to you have a soul?
Oh, hummingbird you fly!
God's creation before my eye!
Oh, hummingbird you fly!
See you tomorrow if you get by!
Watching the ocean crash a wave
It's another gorgeous day
Watching the pelican in the sky
Chilling in nature, and getting high
Oh, ocean and sky!
God's creation before my eye!
Oh, ocean and sky!
See you tomorrow if I get by!
Go fly birdie!
Well there's concrete on every side
Time to leave this garbage behind
Leave from the city to get away
Tired of this jungle of urban decay!
Oh, hummingbird you fly!
See you tomorrow if I get by!
Oh, hummingbird you fly!
See you tomorrow if we get by!
Go fly birdie!

SOUTHERN COAST
Cruising down the southern coast
Out chasing my youth looking for a ghost
Top down, the wind in my face
I'm gonna speed up! for a slower pace
There I go, chasing my past
But those memories, they never last
And there she is, it must be a sign
I'm chasing down that summer time!
I'm cruising down the southern coast
Out chasing my youth looking for a ghost
Top down the wind in my face
I'm gonna speed up! for a slower pace
And there she is, invading my past
but her memory, it ain't gonna last
I'm gonna have a real good time
I'm drinking down that bottle of wine!
I'm cruising down the summer coast
Out chasing my youth, looking for a ghost
Top down, the wind in my face
I'm gonna speed up! for a slower pace
I'm cruising down the southern coast
Replacing my youth with a simple ghost
Top down, the sun in my face
I'm gonna speed up! for a slower pace
Oh yeah,
alright fellas,
heading down the coast.
Let's roll boys!

KNOXVILLE
I headed off to Knoxville,
I ran it down to Tennessee
Well heading back and no big deal
But there ain't no back to see
What happened to my home town
And who the hell made this road?
And where is my old high school
And where did my Texaco go?
I run my self to Knoxville,
I ran it up to Tennessee
I went back to take a look
But there ain't no back to see
Who built this big box store?
And who the hell razed the farm?
And which of y'all was really born 'round here?
And where's my favorite bar?
I ran off to Knoxville,
Had a good time in Tennessee
I went back to take a look
But there ain't no back for me
(instrumental)
What happened to my home town
And who the hell made this road?
Where is my old high school?
And where did my Texaco go?
I run my self to Knoxville,
Yeah I ran it up to Tennessee
Well I look back and think again
But there ain't nothing left to see
I headed off to Knoxville
I ran it down to Tennessee
Heading back ain't no big deal
But there's nothing left for me

CLASS REUNION
It's another class reunion
Raj is still hitting on the white girls
I think Raj is starting to score (man he's gonna score)
Good for Raj, hit the door
Look at the death board
Well who bit it now? (John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? awe)
And who's still walking around? (there goes wheelchair Betty)
And look at them photos
Man that girl was cute! (I still am, what are you talking about?)
And what the hell happened to that guy? ( I remember that guy)
It's another class reunion, a year gone by
A let's see if we can make it again
And Raj is in the corner going crazy
Hell Raj, won't you just let it go? (Let it go dude)
Look at them damn photos!
Making me look old
Well who put that crap up?
This ain't facebook! What the fuck?
