[Verse 1] Everyone's got their own story to sell There's truth and there's lies, but it gets hard to tell Which one is which in the big magazines In the stories they feed us through our glowing screens
[Verse 2] Mine started off in the redwoods and pines I was eatin' blackberries right off of the vine But my wild blood, it took me so far away And I left simpler times in the past where they'd stay
[Chorus] But I tell my own heart every place that I go Someday we'll go back to where that old cool river flows Deep down inside, I know that day may never come But I'll always know that for better or worse Blessing or curse, I'm a son of the San Lorenzo
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 3] Trouble found me like the hair on my chin Each time I'd get clean, it'd just grow back again I got strung out and locked up, but I came out alive Did a life's worth of living in a short block of time
[Verse 4] I can't say I'd like to go through it again But I put down the spoon and I picked up the pen Now I travel and sing with the love of my life Proud to say I made that decision right
[Chorus] But I tell my own heart every place that I go Someday we'll go back to where that old cool river flows Deep down inside, I know that day may never come But I'll always know that for better or worse Blessing or curse, I'm a son of the San Lorenzo
[Outro] That for better or worse, blessing or curse I'm a son of the San LorenzoTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
