La La Land

Way on back, when I was a child

My teacher at school would try to beguile, me

from whatever it was going on inside my head

She probably said if you don't concentrate

You're going to fall behind all your classmates

but I never really listened to a word she said

​

Because in my own world is where I like to stay

Sunshine, clear blue sky, each and every day

No worry, no stress

just 8 hours of recess

it's not ADD or a short attention span

I'm just living life out here in La La Land

​

Now I'm grown up, but not much has changed

just drifting through life, playing and singing

the songs I make up inside my head

My momma said "Son, you ever look for work?

You could make decent money at the bank as a clerk"

but I never really listened to a word she said

​

Because in my own world is where I like to stay

Sunshine, clear blue sky, each and every day

No reason, no rhyme

just whatever I feel like at the time

because I never was one for making plans

I'm just living life out here in La La Land

​

I don't watch the news because it's all sad

and politics seem to make folks mad

so I don't let that stuff trouble my mind

but if the weight of your world starts bringing you down

just come on over and I'll show you around

a little place that I call mine

​

Because in my own world is where I like to stay

Sunshine, clear blue sky, each and every day

With our feet on the ground and our heads in the sky

you can kiss all your earthly troubles goodbye

and we'll float through life hand and hand

Just living our lives out here in La La Land

Living life in La La Land
