Green Jacket Blues

I was thinkin' of a place I was thinkin' of a town

I was runnin' from a ghost I've been seein' him around

I got my green jacket on where my feelings don't fade

They said to let it all go But I'll keep holdin' this space

I'm an illusion of the now I'm a fraction of the thimble little town

I'm a runnin' mouth that never seems to drown

Out the rivers of those drinkin' from the

Lounge

I don't wanna be the one to tell you how to

Live your life But, baby, you're gone

I was thinkin' of a trace That I made when I was young

I was thinkin' of a fort Where all my little dreams were sprung

I was thinkin' that fate Was a boat in the river

I was wonderin' of places They could come and deliver

Souls on the rivers of banks

All the things that I thought were true

Well, conspiracy theories And a tragic little piece of fire that was

Never really you I was thinkin' of a town

But it wasn't fuckin' mine

Where the river just drowned

All the old-timers I knew Baby, I was thinkin' of a place

And it was far from my brain I was hopin' that a song

Could just take it all away I was thinkin' of my dad

Of all the good times we had

And I know he's still around

Well, he's right down the street I was thinkin' of my mom

I was thinkin' how proud I am to be their son

I was thinkin' out loud

I was thinkin' of my dog

He's a little bit new

Well, he's learnin' as he goes There's a little bit of him in me and you

I was thinkin' of a place Where I could just lay my head

And if I dreamed loud enough Everyone could hear it all instead
