Smoggy Days Lyrics by David Haerle

Death Valley

2020

[Verse 1]
Now, my daddy he smoked Pall Malls when I was a kid
In the car in the house on aeroplanes, yes, he did
Well, he's been gone a long time to heaven above
You know, second hand smoke makes me think of my dad who I loved
[Verse 2]
I can hear the sound and rumble of an old V8
Like our gold family '73 Buick made
Dinner at the Hollywood Hamlet, my face lit up
I'm reminded of the days before my folks split up
[Chorus]
Funny now what kind of things
Trigger memories and bring them back
And glasses on my eyes
Have a tint of rose, surprise
But that helps me see all the good
[Verse 3]
Now I recall smoggy summers here in my hometown
90 degrees in Los Angeles, and the air was brown
Oh but summer spelled freedom, what greater thrill can be?
You know, when we have a smoggy day, I feel kinda free
[Verse 4]
Mom and Dad had some bad fights in those years
When I heard 'em say the "D" word I still remember my tears
But I believe deep down that they did their best
It wasn't all sunny days, but in so many ways, I was blessed
[Chorus]
Funny now what kind of things
Trigger memories and bring them back
And glasses on my eyes
Have a tint of rose, surprise
But that helps me see
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
I go back but feel no sorrow
When I go, well, I can borrow
What I know today I see how
It all made me who I am now
I go back but feel no sorrow
When I go, well, I can borrow
What I know today I see how
It all made me who I am now
I go back but feel no sorrow
When I go, well, I can borrow
What I know today I see how
It all made me who I am now
[Instrumental Outro]
