© 2019 Kenny Leverett
In a setting straight out of nowhere
A towheaded boy with a dream
Wanting to be like Elvis
Buys some Black Diamond strings
They said he’d never amount to nothing
Not enough meat on the bone
Sitting all day in his bedroom
Trying to write a song
It’s a long way from Gainesville
Following a yellow brick road
Of all the memories I’m keeping the good ones
Just so you know
Put my thoughts down on paper
And then call it a day
Pick up my guitar tomorrow
And play
Here in the city of angels
There’s so many broken hearts
Lost souls are out there
Sleepwalking down the boulevard
It’s a long way from Gainesville
Following a yellow brick road
Of all the memories I’m keeping the good ones
Just so you know
Put my thoughts down on paper
And then call it a day
Pick up my guitar tomorrow
And play
And in all of your journeys
However far you go
You’ll live here in my heart
Just so you know
