Damn This Place (feat. Jim Hoke, David John, Matt Jones & Jake Lynn)

Damn this place
Damn this life
I'm packin' up my dogs
And my way-too-pretty wife
Don't know exactly yet
What I'm gonna do
But I'm goin' where it's green in the shallows
And the deeps are blue

Well You may wonder what I'm thinkin'
Or what she's gonna say
But, this work is overrated
We'll be better off this way
I'm gonna buy me a boat
A fishin' rig or two
Cookin up some mahi-mahi
And some home made corn bread too
Out where it's green in the shallows
And the deeps are blue

Well I've spent too many years in this salt mine
Every day no different than the last
And the days keep slippin' by just like a fault line
And if this keeps up I'm sure I'm gonna crash
And the old man keeps on pushing toward the deadline
To work each day like it might be your last
Well there ain't no way to win; cuz the die's already cast

I got plans
And I want respect
I told the old man where to shove it
And to send my final check
A bank account full of money
And now I'm heading to
A place where it's green in the shallows
And the deeps are blue

Yeah I got too many years in this salt mine
Every day no different than the last
And the days keep slippin' by just like a fault line
And if this keeps up I'm sure I'm gonna crash
And the old man keeps on pushing toward the deadline
To work each day like it might be your last
I said there ain't no way to win; cuz the die's already cast

Damn this place
Damn this life
Well I guess I shoulda run my little
Game plan past the wife
She says a house out on the island
Costs an arm and leg
And that I better get my job back
Even if I have to beg
She said babe you know I'm sympathetic to what you're goin through
But there's green in the back yard
And you can paint the front door blue
Yeah babe, you know I'm sympathetic to what you're goin through
But there's green in the back yard
And you can paint the front door blue
