Great Escape
Just another day just like this
Trying to chase the bone
Still looking for the great escape
From this war of sticks and stones
If I was king for a day
I wouldn't shine my own crown
I'd be drinking a whiskey sour
On a porch in my hometown
Swallowed coins from the wishing well
Hoping one come true
Staring up at the white on my walls
On Colfax Avenue
If I was God for a day
I'd be floating on the breeze
Over the Mississippi, and heading for the Marigny
While the world burns down
With the setting sun
And the last days lie ahead
The old man's words
Came rushing back
Live today before we're dead
The big wheels turn
From dusk 'til dawn
Pulling strings to make our fate
And I'll always make the best choice last
Even when it's all too late
If I was God for a day
I'd wax and wane with the moon
I'd be pulling the ocean tides
And push the hundred year monsoon
If I was God for a day
I'd move the mountains with no fear
Looking down and spinning the world, and
Wishing you were near
Looking down and spinning the world
Wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
Trying to chase the bone
Still looking for the great escape
From this war of sticks and stones
If I was king for a day
I wouldn't shine my own crown
I'd be drinking a whiskey sour
On a porch in my hometown
Swallowed coins from the wishing well
Hoping one come true
Staring up at the white on my walls
On Colfax Avenue
If I was God for a day
I'd be floating on the breeze
Over the Mississippi, and heading for the Marigny
While the world burns down
With the setting sun
And the last days lie ahead
The old man's words
Came rushing back
Live today before we're dead
The big wheels turn
From dusk 'til dawn
Pulling strings to make our fate
And I'll always make the best choice last
Even when it's all too late
If I was God for a day
I'd wax and wane with the moon
I'd be pulling the ocean tides
And push the hundred year monsoon
If I was God for a day
I'd move the mountains with no fear
Looking down and spinning the world, and
Wishing you were near
Looking down and spinning the world
Wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
Still wishing you were here
