lyrics

The Sun belongs to Anyone

Bye bye little Kerouac
so long, see you soon
fade off down the railroad track
go follow the moon
wake up in a world forgotten, wake up to the proof

That you’re a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on your head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west

My aunt's down in New Orleans
my Mom's with her there
My Dad died in '63
so I guess that I've always been here
I live in a world of strangers, though some are my friends

I'm a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on my head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west

I've seen drifters and truckers and bikers with chains
men dressed as women and women in pain
sea sides and bus rides and legerdemain
I should know enough to get out of the rain

So bye bye little Kerouac
so long split this scene
go on man don't turn your back
go chasin’ your dream
wake up in a world forgotten, wake up to the truth

That you’re a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on your head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west
