I'm so sick of this weather!
HOUSTON, TX - The conditions here in Southeast Texas have been worse than ever, lately. It's cold, it's rainy, it's just miserable. Last week, I braved temperatures in the low 40's to go out and tend to my pool and backyard, just so I could pretend it was springtime again. At least the days are starting to get a little longer.
I want to go fishing. I want to go to the beach. I want to grill shrimp and steak and sip a cold beer while the waterfall fills my yard with calm trickling noises.
Recently I was rediscovering Jake & The Half Conched Band's lullaby called Current Conditions. It's fantastic. I recently spent half a day really practicing it on the ukulele. I now know it by heart. It's on his Life On The Gulf CD. If you don't have it... you gotta get it.
Current Conditions
By Jake & The Half Conched Band
Life On The Gulf - 2007
The weather man..... paints a picture of my dreams
As he describes the conditions along the gulf stream
It's a life made perfect just for me.
The taste of salt... on the rim of a margarita glass
A back porch view of Perdido Pass
The rest of the world can just kiss my ass
It's eighty-four but it feels like ninety
The sun is setting and the pressure is steady
The winds are out of the South, and you can see for miles
The forecast leaves me wishin' that I was in the current condition
I close my eyes... I'm right back in Calypso Cafe'
Listening to ol' John Reno Play
As I watch the sun call it a day
I feel the breeze... gently stirring the evening air
It carries away all of my cares
And for a moment, it's like I'm there
It's eighty-four but it feels like ninety
The sun is setting and the pressure is steady
The winds are out of the South, and you can see for miles
The forecast leaves me wishin' that I was in the current conditionLabels: Jake And The Half Conched Band, Lyrics |
