Paul Summers Jr. - Nothin' Left To Explore (2022 Remaster)

There's a football size dent in the side of my truck
Mike the bum he's making artwork out of cigarette butts
The men in suits they feel so far above
But they're just another car on the freeway home
There's a few nice houses at the top of the hill
Rusty pails of water out by the lake
The suburbs keep on stretching farther out
Forty miles to work one way
The paint slowly chips off the old house
So knock it down and put up a parking lot
Someone's gonna use it for a bed tonight
And tomorrow you'll wish you would've charged
I'd say the city life ain't for me
But the country can be so boring
Where is the place that I can go
Nothing Left in this world To Explore
They take advantage that we have so many years to live
We got plenty of time to pay for everything we want
Now you can dye your hair, or you can go play golf
Or you can wait until your light turns green
Meet someone and say I do
Time will get rid of all your fear
The innocence of childhood is over now
And now they say you're responsible, ha.
I'd say the city life ain't for me
But the country can be so boring
Where is the place that I can go
Nothing Left in this world To Explore
It seems there's always something new on my TV
Like those getaway vacation documentaries
I can lay back on my couch and be set free
Let someone else's film be my reality
We can always go hiking up in some national park
Yeah, but first we've got to pick up the right permit
Ride a rented horse, or sail a wooden ship
Just as long as the registration's kept up to date
The poet quit his job to make a stand
But she starved himself so bad you could see the bone through the skin in his hand
When each nation's got dibs on all the land
Bored to death we'll multiply until each square foot is crammed
I'd say the city life ain't for me
But the country can be so boring
Where is the place that I can go
Nothing Left in this world To Explore
I'd say the city life ain't for me
But the country can be so boring
Where is the place that I can go
Nothing Left in this world To Explore
