lyrics

MELLOW
(Burton Jespersen/Patrick Rydman)

7780 Highway 9,
just a white spot in the road
You could pass right through,
you’d never know
Old motor homes and trailers
parked way up in the woods
60’s memorabilia, recycled goods

Lunchtime down at Rocky’s,
upon their wall of fame
That dear old dog died years ago
but the café has his name

Across the road’s a dog wash,
The Pet Palace if you please
bring your dirty dogs and cats,
wash away their fleas
Next to that is Mellow's,
antiques beyond compare
If you throw a yard sale, she’ll be there

With her Pink Floyd bedroom
and The Dark Side Of The Moon
She finds those hidden treasures
and whistles that ol’ tune

Mellow, mellow, mellow
another place in time
We thought it was forgotten,
a dream we left behind
Mellow, mellow, mellow
makes me feel so fine
Like the smell of wood smoke
in the air
Like the taste of vintage wine

California redwoods,
there’s a story to be told
Take a lonely walk, it will unfold
Now all those flower children
they’re not children anymore
But that song of love’s still flowing
from the mountains to the shore

Mellow, mellow, mellow
another place in time
We thought it was forgotten
a dream we left behind
Mellow, mellow, mellow
makes me feel so fine
Like the smell of wood smoke
in the air
Like the taste of vintage wine
