Bassackwards

I was on the beach, but I was thinkin' about the bay

Got to the bay, but by then, I was far away

I was on the ground, but lookin' straight into the sun

But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one

For awhile

For because it was an all-burning feelin' in my chest

To fill the void of a long night unwatched by, well, the sun

Until the morn

Until when, well, the sun's reborn

And so am I

From all the scorn buried deep within the psyche of my soul

I was standin' down, but I was also on the run

In my mind

I was on the radio, talkin' with a friend of mine

There wasn't no format because well, we like it like that

He was outta his mind and I was way outta mine

Then everythin' went backwards with words comin' out bassackwards

And I appreciate him to the utmost degree

I was on the beach, but I was thinkin' about the bay

Got to the bay, but by then, I was far away

I was on the ground, but lookin' straight into the sun

But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one

For a while

To fill the void

Until the morn

Then everythin' went backwards, I mean

Phrases flyin' out bassackwards, yeah

I was on the moon, but more so, I was in the grass

So I was chillin' out but with a very driftin' minds

So I was on the ground, circa planet Earth, but out of sorts

But I snapped back, baby, just in time to jot it down

And come around

It's always nice to see and I came around

It's always nice to see ya here, and I come around

But when I'm plain calm, come down

Then everything goes backwards

I mean everythin' movin' out

Then everything goes backwards

I mean, everythin' oozin' out

Bassackwards

Strumming a Chet Atkins

I was standing up, but you know I hate to still stoop you down

To my level

Bassackwards

And I appreciate her to the utmost degree

Yeah

Then everything went backwards

I mean words comin' out

Bassackwards

Yes, it's just the way things is these days

It's the way they come out these days

Just the way things come out

Yeah

Come on

To the utmost degree

Woo
