Everyone's got their own story to sell
There's truth and there's lies, but it gets hard to tell
ย
Which one is which in the big magazines
In the stories they feed us through our glowing screens
Mine started off in the redwoods and pines
I was eatin' blackberries right off of the vine
But my wild blood, it took me so far away
And I left simpler times in the past where they'd stay
But I tell my own heart every place that I go
Someday we'll go back to where that old cool river flows
ย
Deep down inside, I know that day may never come
But I'll always know that for better or worse
Blessing or curse, I'm a Son of the San Lorenzo
ย
Trouble found me like the hair on my chin
Each time I'd get clean, it'd just grow back again
I got strung out and locked up, but I made out alive
Did a life's worth of living in a short block of time
I can't say I'd like to go through it again
But I put down the spoon and I picked up the pen
Now I travel and sing with the love of my life
Proud to say I made that decision right
