12.A Place In The Sun
I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee
There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be
I'm wore out and weary, but before my time's done
I need to find me a place in the sun
Well, life shot right by me, it's hard to explain
The days started passing, now they all look the same
Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run
So I need to find me a place in the sun
A place where the golden rays
Dance on the waterways
Where time passes easily
And burdens don't trouble me
I'd feel like a millionaire
Sat on a foldin' chair
Watching you dance in the breeze
I don't know a fella who ain't seen it tough
We deal and we hustle to make just enough
But somewhere the people are still having fun
So I'm gonna find me that place in the sun
A place where there's little rain
And good memories remain
Somewhere you can take a drive
Back to a simple time
I'd feel like all royalty
Sat near an olive tree
Free from my work for awhile
I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee
There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be
Well, every good spirit needs someplace to run
So I need to find me a place in the sun
