I'm Skipping Spring

This song sends me to another place. Sublime, Jack Johnson,Chili Peppers and a few select others were the anthem of a better place in time. Summers in Dewey Beach. Particularly the first summer when my girls and I were 17/18 years old and this was one of the songs we would all sing out loud as we were getting ready.

I can't wait for the summer to come back! Here I am 24 and still all I can think of are the nights that turn into mornings without the slightest realization of life outside of Dewey.The days that stretch on with only the thought of just how much of tomorrow is going to be spent exactly the same way...



Garden Grove
We took this trip to garden grove
It smelled like lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This aint no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I got the microwave, got the vcr
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah
If you only knew all the love that I found
Its hard to keep my soul on the ground
Youre a fool, dont fuck around with my dog
All that I can see I steal, I fill up my garage
Cause in my mind
Music from jamaica, all the love that I found
Pull over theres a reason why my souls unsound
Its you
Its that shit stuck under my shoe
Its that smell inside the van
Its my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hands
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on a freeway
Feeling depressed everyday
Leaving without making a sound
Picking my dog up at the pound
Living in a tweeker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying Im happy when Im not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
Theyre waiting for you.


So if you've got a hideaway spot this song is for you.
If not, I will gladly share Dewey Beach, Delaware with you.
