Lake Arrowhead

A track off of Alias Punch album#1, Alias Punch. It's about a lake in Northern Georgia that Jasper and I visited briefly.

Oh no, they've got me down again,
Damn them working-time blues,
My forehead's so very dry,
From all the sweat that I lose,
And just to get a break,
I've got to make up a lie,
In the middle of this doldrum,
I close my eyes,

I find myself on Lake Arrowhead,
Where, oh, my boss can't stick his head,
All I see is blue water, bright green trees,
And every other city is spitting out cheese,

Let's take out the paddle-boat,
Smoke a cigarette,
Take a picture in your mind,
Try not to forget,
I just killed two copperheads,
Says Uncle Dan,
"And I swear that both of them snakes,
Are the biggest in the land!"

I find myself on Lake Arrowhead,
Where, oh, my boss can't stick his head,
All I see is blue water, bright green trees,
And every other city is spitting out cheese,

I find myself on Lake Arrowhead,
Where for all I care, Florida could be dead,
I don't even care I'm drinking s****y beer,
Because my fingernails are anchored in this dirt for a year.
