Heartbeat Of America

Well I was walking down the street just the other day

I had a double headed nickel and a bill to pay

There was bubblegum a'blistered on the hot cement

And I was waiting like patience on a monument

Well I rolled a little spliff and tightened up my shoes

And I went to the corner where I lit the fuse

Disgusted by the loneliness I couldn't lose

I sat and wrote a little verse to the 'rona blues

I said I always wanna do the things I used to do

But everybody got a job and works enough for two

We could have a little party at the end of the day

But everybody had a family and moved away

So I'm sitting with a paper soakin' on my tongue

And feeling better than I did back when I was young

Now I'm seeing music that nobody else can see

With all the colors like a symphony surrounding me
