The update to Simon & Garfunkel's optiimistic, hippie, epic, "America"!
Still Looking... (by G. Wade)

(kinda like S&G's "America" meets the theme from "Cheers" as done as a waltz)
Maybe this time around I can__
get some sleep
I found some pills in the back of my last ride,
a nineteen sixty-eight Jeep
I've written down every kind of vehicle that's
bothered to pick me up
This is the second list - I can't recall
where the first one wound up
But I'm still looking for it
I'm still looking for it
Maybe this time around when I've found it it'll
Be something I recognize
And I won't get all cynical when I realize that
it came with a burger and fries
(alt:
And I won't get all spiteful when I find out it
only comes Supersized)
I kinda miss Kathy since she ran off
To marry a corporate banker
And it's hard to help search with seventeen kids and
The mass of an oil tanker
harmonized:
Sure I'm still lost, but that's just the cost
Of not having a well-defined path
Or maybe it's all the dirt in my eyes from
Thirty years without a bath
But I'm still looking for it
I'm still looking for it
Maybe this time around when I've found it it'll
Be something I recognize
And I won't get all cynical when I realize that
it came with a burger and fries
(alt:
And I won't get all spiteful when I find out it
only comes Supersized)
bridge
Running for the bus
Playing games with my blood sugar
Who would've thought
That living on pot
could be bad?
I wish I'd just
Took a buck and invest-

quieter
It's hard to stay on course
It's hard to stick with The Cause
When your entire lifestyle breaks every single one of
Some group of bureaucrats laws
Most of us moved off the land, into an air-conditioned
White picket-fenced pad
But I'm still searching, only occasionally financed by
(My) Dear old Mom and Dad
But I'm still looking for it
I'm still looking for it
Maybe this time around when I've found it it'll
Be something I recognize
And I won't get all cynical when I realize that
it came with a burger and fries
(alt:
And I won't get all spiteful when I find out it
only comes Supersized)
Let us be lovers, we'll marry your fortune to my drugs
Hey, honey don't turn your nose up so high...
