Oregon Lyrics by Kota the Friend
[Verse]
Oregon Coast, I hit a pub
Shot a rum and a Henny and Coke
I saw a man, eighty-one, maybe seventy-four
Said, "What's up?", got a beer, started making a toast
Told him I was on the road working my ass off
So one day I can kick back, sit and relax more
He did a little laugh, now he laughing his ass off
Leaned in close 'bout to give me a crash course
"Wanna hear a story, son?
It's not long, won't last 'til the morning come
Know I look a little rough when I'm off the drugs
Let me tell you 'bout my life, won't cost you none"
I said, "Go 'head"
He said, "I was born in a small town
Living was easy, wasn't nobody needy
It was happiness all 'round
My cousin would visit me from the city
And tell me about the wealthy and busy
Money and women and clubs
Company dinners and drugs
You can get a big house
Chef in the kitchen, what's up?"
I was just simple and young, fishing and living it up
Did a lil' work but I really just did what I want
Anyway, I figured I would try out a new place
Find me a good job, hustle and get paid
Money to get made, grind going into the nighttime
Little stressed out, marijuana and white wine
Step by step on the ladder I climb up
Wishing I was home, on a hike or a bike ride
I was living in the fast life, getting this cash right
Noticing it came with a bad price
Five, ten, twenty years pass me by
And that grind shit ran me dry
Made M's, in the field I was in so it felt like time
To retire and kick back and relax my mind
And so I moved to a small town
Living was easy, wasn't nobody needy, it was happiness all 'round
Now I was simple and old thinking this living was low
Just to come right back to a familiar home
Ain't it a trip, though?
Could've been living like this, though
Lakehouse good as it gets, though
Before you hit the road
Make sure that what you covet is better than what you own
Just wanted to let you know
