D Cmaj7
I study up my hollow
D
Piece of wood to follow
Cmaj7
A day that doesn't come
D
To the lucky
Cmaj7
And I realize there's tomorrow
D
But I would rather wallow
Cmaj7
In the rain then moods that seem
D Cmaj7
So pot-lucky
D
Well I'm cruising El Paseo
D G G
In my off-white coup back '65

Or I'm cruisin down my own street

And I'll let you know

So I wait for fate to find me

A ball of string unwind me

Uncomfortable as a centerfold

And I realize your behind me

To help and humankind me
Cmaj7
To see my songs can be retold

Well I'll be gone tomorrow

Yes I'm on the road tomorrow

So next time that I see you in school

It won't be for too long

And I want a leather jacket

Saw me from behind
