Lyrics
THE SUNSET TAXES
Verse 1
There?s a place I would run to
When the world got too mean
We can lie in the shade there
On a bank by a tricklin? stream
Verse 2
So I brought us a blanket
Brought some burgundy
But they cleared it all for condos
And made a sign with the trees
Chorus
So let?s drive, let?s drive up above the vapor lights
And watch the sun set
From up above the power-lines
Raise your glass and keep your kisses long
Soak it up before it goes
Soak it up before they impose
The sunset taxes
Verse 3
Well some went for cable
Some went for the phone
And everybody needs lights darlin?
And I had to pay on the loan
Verse 4
Well, and then there?s insurance
The rent, the groceries, the car
I can?t paint you the town tonight
But I can render my heart
