I met an actress from Big Spring
We talked about many things
I played a banjo song for her
She forgot where we were
I met a red-headed ballerina
Up on her toes, you should’ve seen her
I played a guitar song for her
And the rest is just a blur
Some people say all roads lead away from yourself
Into the woods to find somebody else
I don’t know where they grow that magic mushroom
Maybe they’re just looking for too much, too soon
I met a chess-playing girl in the smog
She wore glasses and she lived with frogs
I never played any music for her
She hopped away like she didn’t even care
Some people say all roads lead away from yourself
Into the woods to find somebody else
I don’t know where they grow that magic mushroom
Maybe they’re just looking for too much, too soon
Maybe they’re just trying too hard
Maybe they’re just trying too hard
Maybe they’re just trying too hard
Maybe they’re just trying too hard
