Story
....but she had it all wrong.
I was lost and lonely on the outside, looking for something that felt just right.,
I was starved, never satisfied, but couldn’t keep my heart safe, I lost the fight
Well, the grass is greener everywhere I go but I’m not fooling myself
Every place I’m in I see your face, so I need to be somewhere else
Yeah, I need to be some where else.
I went along on a trip, I took your ride, let my heart melt, I let you get inside.
With your dark eyes and your perfect smile, you had me so well, you felt you could lie.
Well, the grass is greener everywhere I go but I’m not fooling myself
Every place I’m in I see your face, so I need to be somewhere else
Yeah, I need to be some where else.
If I stayed, could I last one more day
Don’t want to be pushed away
But I need to be somewhere else
I should be O.K. with the here and now, but I can’t focus on where I’m bound
I Want to dig my heels in the ground, I’m begging you Lord don’t let me turnaround
Well, the grass is greener everywhere I go but I’m not fooling myself
Every place I’m in I see your face, so I need to be somewhere else
Yeah, I need to be some where else.
BAYVIEW DRIVE
Summer’s hot, the air is wet
How much better can it get
In our house on Bayview Dr..
Not a care in the world
I’m still Daddy’s little girl
In our house on Bay View Dr.
We played in the sunshine
We laughed in the water
Mom called Marco Polo until Daddy caught her
There is not better place you’ll find
Than right here on Bay View Dr.
Years go by the sun still shines
Coming home feels so fine
To the house on Bayview Dr.
Here I am pushing thirty and not so girly
As I was at 5 on Bay View Dr.
Where we played in the sunshine
We laughed in the water
We learned how to love
We grew up and got stronger
There is not better place you’ll find
Than right here on Bay View Dr.
Last night I had a dream, it was so vivid and clean
It was summer there on Bayview Dr.
Mom and Dad, Sister, Brother
We all hugged each other
Together at the house on Bay View Dr.
What happened, now I’m fifty
Dad’s gone and Mom is iffy
Sold the house last year on Bayview Dr.
There’s no boat in the dock now but I sit out here anyhow
What a view on Bay View Dr.
Where...
We played in the sunshine
We laughed in the water
Mom called Marco Polo until Daddy caught her
There is not better place you’ll find
Than right there on Bay View Dr.
And I’ll remember til I die, our house on Bayview Drive.
....but she had it all wrong.
A story of hope and comfort for women in troubled times.
