From the recording Dear Companions
Lyrics
SAM AND ADAM'S BLUES
You put an old mans eyes
In a young mans body
Scars across his chest
He never shows anybody
You get all the trust beaten right out of you
You put it on the road
So people come and stare at you
This is how you get here from there
This is how you get here
Aint no going back there
This is how you get here from there
You never write a song looking for any money
But god knows we us a little bit huh honey?
We took all of our vanity
Left it somewhere south of granity
And let the wild west coast roar
Crush it on the shore
And we were never quite quick enough
Never quite slick enough
And we were never quite young enough
Never quite dumb enough
We parked the van somewhere between
And we were never quite good enough
Never quite bad enough
But think of all the things we’ve seen
