The Boy From Sausalito

from Pantryman by Spence Hood

/

lyrics

V1
Keeps the lights down low, he don’t wanna look at the barcodes anymore.
‘Round 4am when he steps outside.
“Sorry kid, been a hell of a night. Probably never seen a grown man cry.”
And he goes, “That’s fine, this town’s one hell of a ride.”
“Pardon me son, where did you say you were from?
I got a feeling that you’re not the only one.”

CHORUS
I’m from Sausalito my parents tell me,
That’s where they say that I was born.
But between you and me, I never cared much for the sea,
So I don’t want to be from there anymore.

V2
“Well kid, you and me make two - I’m pretty tired of just making do
When the 303 ain’t their cup of tea after all.
But it takes more than smoke to make this midnight choke,
So lift that lovely chin, keep walking tall.
Pardon me son, where did you say you were from?
I got a feeling that you might be the only one.”

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’d rather be from where believers grow on trees
And the folks, they try a little tenderness.
Or near the equator, where they cater to the shade
And the love costs less,
But brother I digress.

CHORUS
I’m from Sausalito my parents tell me,
That’s where they swear that I was born.
But between you and me, I’ve always hated the sea,
So I don’t want to be from there anymore.
