Moving Stories

from Everyone's Okay by Kevin Dickerson

/

lyrics

I sold an old Fender amp to a young skater kid
He played it with my guitar, he wasn't that good
But hauled it away for a hundred bucks
I held the door for him and wished him good luck

walked up the street to get some x-rays
Took the CD from the nurse, got a salad at Jane
Waited around for an hour or so
To find out what’s next with the plate in my elbow

“The doctor will see you as soon as he is able”
I noticed a book, “Moving Stories,” on the coffee table

I had something downtown so I took a bus
After waiting outside for the fucking 31
a beautiful day under a beautiful sun
I thought about Prince and everything he's done

Sat down for a drink at Market and Hyde
Where people were talking about “When Doves Cry”
It got me thinking about my own run in life
I practiced guitar late into the night

Another dreamless sleep before this April session
Already thinking up verses for the next one

I'll spend the rest of the week packing up my things
moving some shit into a storage place
Back to home depot for boxes and tape
Gotta pack up my Guitar Center SG bass

I hope my landlord makes a pretty penny
All the new kids in my neighborhood bum me out anyway
Who gives a shit, it's triple the rent
But I get to spend every day with my girlfriend

It's just another change, I'm over it
I got a story of my own and who cares? I own it

I visited my friend Christine last week the Mission
I took a trip to her neighborhood to pay her a visit
It was a month or two ago that her dad passed away
In Pasadena, California just outside L.A.

The San Francisco air was misty, rainy and sunny too
a beautiful sky you never get used to
she opened the door to her apartment
and the first thing she said was, “There’s a double rainbow!” so we went to her roof to look at it

And we looked out towards the East Bay
Over Potrero Hill across the water where I used to stay
And there was a rainbow in the sky
And we hung out for a while and then we said goodbye
