Story Behind The Song
I flew to SanFransico after not leaving Maui for 6 years and at one point the traffic was at a standstill but there were 9 lanes on either side of the highway. Cars were just every where so I decided to write a quick song for all of those poor bastards who have to do that every day.

Lyrics
LIVING MY DREAM
People always ask me, what I?m doing
Those questions give me time to think
Wondering who what why and when
Re-inspecting all the choices I make
So I took a walk out on my front walkway
?Cause its only 100 yards to the beach
Tonight I?ll sing about women boats and drinking
Getting? paid to practice what I preach
I?m living my dream I?m living my dream, I?m living my dream
Or that?s how it seems to be
I?m living my dream?..
And that?s what livin is to me
I?m living my dream and it?s a mighty nice place to be
I met a girl from California
She?s sweet as pie and cool like rain
Pretty as a pretty girl can be
Yeah me and her we?re the same
She likes sunshine and I do to
She likes to sail on the ocean blue
She likes to look like what I like to see
Oh I like her and she likes me
CHORUS
The preponderance of the evidence states
Lethargic lives are such a waste
Objects in motion tend to go faster
Objects that stay standing still
Persons, places, things to see
It?s really elementary
On this big round ball with it?s deep blue sea
Why don?t you come along with me
