The Boy From Sausalito

[Verse 1]
Keeps the lights down low
He don’t wanna look at them barcodes anymore
‘Round 4am when he steps outside
“Sorry kid, been a hell of a night
Probably never seen a grown man cry”
And he goes, “That’s fine, this town’s one hell of a ride”
“Pardon me son, where did you say you were from?
I got a feeling that you’re not the only one”

[Chorus]
I’m from Sausalito my parents tell me
That’s where they say that I was born
But between you and me, I never cared much for the sea
So I don’t want to be from there anymore

[Verse 2]
“Well kid, you and me make two - I’m pretty tired of just making do
When the 303 ain’t their cup of tea after all
But it takes more than smoke to make this midnight choke
So lift that lovely chin, keep walking tall
Pardon me son, where did you say you were from?
I got a feeling that you might be the only one”

[Chorus]
I’m from Sausalito my parents tell me
That’s where they say that I was born (Say that I was born)
But between you and me, I never cared much for the sea
So I don’t want to be from there anymore

[Bridge]
I’d rather be from where believers grow on trees
And the folks, they try a little tenderness
Or near the equator, where they cater to the shade
And the love costs less
But brother I digress

[Chorus]
I’m from Sausalito my parents tell me
That’s where they swear that I was born
But between you and me, I’ve always hated the sea
So I don’t want to be from there anymore
