Post Toastee
Tommy Bolin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Well my mind has been overflowin'
'Bout some things that don't seem right.
And my gun is cocked and loaded,
I hope I get me some sleep tonight.
Well I don't know what went wrong,
It seems like nuthin' is right.
Well I don't know what went wrong,
I hope I get me some sleep tonight.
So take it nice and easy,
Leave the coals in the pit.
Don't let your mind post-toastee,
Like a lot of my friends did.
Just keep me out of L.A.,
Things are crazy out there.
From people that I been meetin',
Seems I got to beware.
