Story Behind The Song
Came up with the chorus melody first and the words fell out as I sang it. I didn't even think about the words until I heard them and it felt good. Writing the verse lyrics to support the chorus was easy... band always had fun doing this one!

Lyrics
Bare feet, tall grass, sun as bright as I can recall
Levis, cool breeze, something says today is my day
(chorus)
Ain?t nothin? better than lyin? on the river with you
There is no other place I find as simple and true
(repeat)
We laugh, we play, I?m hangin? on your every word
Cause when I?m with you, babe, this is as good as it gets
(chorus)
Take back your world of techno dreams
Where laptops, pagers reign supreme
Cause though my mind is so amazed
(chorus) ? (guitar solo) ? (chorus)
