Ahead of the Curve

Another perfect day
They keep piling up
I got happiness that I can maintain
Some beginner's luck
I had shoes to fill
Walking barefoot now
Can't tell north from south
But no split hair's gonna get me down, no
I'm stayin' above the flat line
And I'm ahead of the curve
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
On a red-eye flight to another world
It isn't any trouble
If you wanna come with me
I know it's out the question, honey
But I sure could use the company
And a place to be
Now the sky is pink
Rooftop swimming pool
I'm not carefree, no
I'm free to care
I just never do
All the bags are checked
And the reasons why
Yesterday lingers on
That's the piece you keep when we say goodbye
You can get what you want now
Knock it out of the park
Bury it by the river
Easy, there's a search party
But it's getting dark
I won't hold you to nothing
I wanna make that plain
Prob'ly end up a stranger and crazy
But I'm still hoping there's another way
And a place to stay
What a scene has got you sentimental
When the knot comes, when the knot comes loose
All the things you've put upon your mantle
What a shame, what a shame
It's old news
I'm staying above the flat line
I'm ahead of the curve
Take a piece of the sunshine with me on a all night drive to another world
You can get what you want now
Knock it out of the park
Prob'ly end up a drifter and lonely
But I'm still hoping for a change of heart
And a place, a place, a place to start
