Down The Road Lyrics

Down The Road lyrics

by Scatterbrain
from the recording titled 'Here Comes Trouble'

Here's
my story, sad but true
About a girl that I once knew.
She broke my heart,
I became unglued,
It all started when she called me dude

Well today I
leave the psycho ward
Cause my sentence did conclude:
I had killed a man
with my bare hands
Because he called me dude

The jury said that I was
insane.
Temporally insane - brain strain.
But now the doctors say I'm
A.O.K.
So I start my new life today.

This story starts some years
ago
As I vacationed by the sea.
In the California sunshine
Just me
& my baby.

I was in love feeling sky high
When a big blonde
lifeguard walked by.
He looked at her, she looked at him -
I knew it was
good bye.

He took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face.
She looked
& laughed & said, "Later Dude!"
They were gone without a
trace
And the waves echoed her laughter
And her words...Yo Later
Dude.

Later that night I was in such a bad mood
Sittin' in a bar
drinkin' hard, getting stewed
Thinkin' 'bout that girl & how 'bout I'd
been screwed
When some guy walks in sits next to me & says
What's up
dude!

I heard the word dude & I became unglued.
Slowly I turned,
step by step, inch by inch
And put my hands around his neck, and I
squeezed...

DON'T CALL ME DUDE!

So that's how I got where I
am
But this ain't where it ends.
The doctors said they cured me
I said
good bye to my crazy friends.

I was smiling as i left that place
My
life had been renewed.
The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass
And he
said, "Yo Later Dude!"

Slowly I
turned...
