Back to Aromas

I left my job
as a numbers gauge
in the dying embers
Of the dot com rage

Head at my heels
Head at my heels

Back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

Jumped in an RV
To start a new life
On the side of 101
Where the trucks jackknife

It's a different scene
It's a different scene

Back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

I met up with Bob
retired from the force
Giving kids rides
In his skyrise house

I went as well
I went as well

Back To Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

My neighbor, she married
For money one time
Now she's happy
With her SS line

Wealthy in mind
Wealthy in mind

Back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

My best friend Matt
He patrols the park
Riding his wheelchair
Long after dark

Hanging his gun
Hanging his gun

Back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

Riding holidays
On my red motorbike
Passing jams on
San Jose turnpikes

Wind in my face
Wind in my face

Back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go

Then one day
Contracts met the clock
Time to hitch up
and head off the block

Time to move on
But, before too long

It's back to Aromas I go
Back to Aromas I go
