Green Grass, Rainwater - Robben Ford

Mexico a disaster

It’s time I disappear

Spent my fortune on breakfast

Scrambled eggs and beer

Broke but glad to be breathing

And leaving here at last

Point myself at my future

Forget about the past

I wish you green grass, rain water

And a window taking light from the east

Providence your umbrella be

Now let your dog run free

Shook my head at the mirror

Said «save yourself while you can»

I tried harder to please you baby

Than any self-respecting man

Shake the dust off my jacket

I’ve fought the final fight

Can’t blame fools for trying

We just didn’t get it right

Our labors made at love were lost

I’ve paid the cost for my mistakes

The tower fell but I wish you well

Don’t bother about me any more

Don’t bother 'bout me anymore

Hit San Diego at sundown

Another hot summer night

Made my way down to the water to see

The reflection of the harbor lights

A shining sea of illusion

The original sin

Me I’ve taken a good long look

I’ve reviewed the shape I’m in
