lyrics

The Same Mistake

The van was packed
We were on the road
Forgot some gear, so we doubled back
Traffic jam all the way to Reno
Found the casino
We loaded in
Played for seniors and regulars
Played for poker and slot machines
Played for jacks, kings & queens
Cold barstools & a round of drinks

I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice
I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice

Took two days to reach the Midwest
Played 3 sets at a college party
The Magic Mushroom Surfin Safari
I forgot the chords, Forgot the songs
Remembered words, but not the rite ones
Took a whole week to find our drummer
Down the block, in a stolen hammock
Singing like an eagle from another planet

I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice
I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice

Found New York in a thunderstorm
A basement club, a flooded floor
Stay with me, there’s even more
The doorman flaked. Our drummer quit
Pictures I paint are accurate
Names were changed and some were cut
That’s how it all went up in flames
I’ve got no one but myself to blame

I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice
I won’t make the same mistake
Don’t think twice
