Playin’ Tricks L Dunn © ‘11
Verse
My mind is playin’ tricks on me
I swear it smells like prairie rain that falls
Up in big sky country
But I’m livin’ where the ground shakes the redwood trees
Just a stone’s throw from the deep blue sea
My mind must be playin’ tricks on me
Verse
There it goes again
I can hear a meadowlark cheerin’ up
The lonesome prairie wind
But I’m miles away rollin’ to work in the city
Crowded on a bus at Market and Montgomery
My mind is playin’ tricks on me
Bridge
Day in day out punchin’ this clock is like plowin’ the ocean blue
I may as well go out drinkin’ for all the good it’s gonna do
Verse
And cut it loose, enjoy my revelry
Take some time off for bad behavior
Soaked in good whiskey
I’ll chalk it up to blowin’ off steam
Might crawl home on my hands and knees
After my mind’s done playin’ tricks on me
Solo
Bridge
Rise and shine to make a dime’s like plowin’ the deep blue sea
Just as well rob a bank before they’ve finished robbin’ me
Verse
I’ll conjure up the perfect crime
It’ll all go off without a hitch
And I won’t do any time
I’ve got nothin’ to lose and what a sight I’ll see
High in the lap of luxury
My mind is playin’ tricks on me
Whoa my mind keeps playin’ tricks on me
