Lost Trailers - Longfall

File info:

The waves are settling down, and the sun has sunk into the sand

And the only calm this city gives is living in these ocean sounds

Well, it's not as bad as it could be, it's just not as good as I thought it would be

You'll find out what you miss most when you're out alone on the West Coast

In a longfall, yes, it's gonna be a longfall



I'm not sure why I'm still here, when I left my life seemed so clear

Now my dreams are heavy things that are muddied by reality

Cause I can't find good pay, and there's no game days on Saturdays

Yes, the only tailgates I see down are loading smack and crack cocaine

For a long haul, up the West Coast in this longfall



My girl loved the price of fame, I lost her when she changed her name

Her face used to feel so soft, 'til her agent's doctor pulled it off

She got a new nose and cheekbones, and a bit part on a TV show

But a home can turn to a frozen place, when the one you love's got a stranger's face

It's a longfall, out in LA, It's a longfall. Still no rain, and I don't feel the same



Just when I thought I'd head on back, I saw a black haired girl on the concrete path 

She flung her hair back with her hands, between the setting sun and a coffee stand

And in the fading light I could barely see, when she fired up a Winston and gave it to me

She said, "You look like someone I know"; 

I said, "I do, well, thanks for the care, cause it shows." 



In this longfall, there's fine folks out on the West Coast

It's just a longfall, where there's no cold, and no one gets old

In this longfall, there's no rain, but I know Jane will change

In this longfall, yes, I know things have got to change
