Everyones got their own story to sell, there’s truth and there’s lies but it gets hard to tell
Which one is which in the big magazines, in the stories they feed us from our glowing screens
Mine started out in the redwoods and pines, I was eating blackberries right off of the vine
My wild blood it took me oh so far away and I left simpler times in the past where they’d stay
But I tell my own heart in every place that I go, someday we’ll go back to where that old cool river flows
Deep down inside I know that day may never come, but I’ll always know
That for better or worse, a blessing or curse
I’m a son of the San Lorenzo
Trouble found me like the hair on my chin, each time I’d get clean it’d just grow back again
I got strung out and locked up but I made out alive, did a life worth of living in a short block of time
I can’t say Id like to go through it again, but I put down the spoon and I picked up the pen
Now I travel and sing with the love of my life, proud to say I made that decision right
But I tell my own heart in every place that I go, someday we’ll go back to where that old cool river flows
Deep down inside I know that day may never come, but I’ll always know
That for better or worse, a blessing or curse
I’m a son of the San Lorenzo
That for better or worse, if a blessing or a curse
I’m a son of the San Lorenzo
