Name: No Place Else to Go
Duration: P00H04M25S
Description: An upbeat blues, with a bridge, about holding on through tough times...My favorite line is the one about logging onto eBay to self off our junk. I was really doing that at the time I wrote this in 2005. It's what you do when you're broke, but not so broke that you don't have a broadband connection.

An upbeat blues, with a bridge, about holding on through tough times...My favorite line is the one about logging onto eBay to self off our junk.

lyrics

Hamper overflowing
Broken broom in closet
Decks with fifty-one cards
Old Political pamphlets

Mismatched lightbulbs
On the broken chandelier
And sometimes it seems
We haven't spoken for years

There's entropy all over
Time is taking it's toll
But the truth of the of the matter
I got no place else to go

Million dollar dreams
Built on 99-cent schemes
We saw on TV screens
Or ads in slick magazines

With healthy young couples
In tropical scenes
Sometimes it seems
We wasted our best years dreaming

Yeah things fall apart
But the center seems to hold
But the truth of it is
I got no place else to go

BRIDGE:
Well that may not be
A romantic vote of confidence
But I'd rather be right here struggling with you
Than be living the good life filled with rich prentense

(solo on blues changes)

Got a new pair of jeans
And a new set of dreams
Maybe our blues
Will soon be turning to greens

Logged on to eBay
And sold off the clutter
Did it together
Found we still liked each other

Can't stop time
Can't alter it's flow
But even if I could
I'd have no place else I'd want to go
