The Biddle Boys - Looking Through the Colored Glasses Lyrics

The world's okay looking through the colored glasses
The world's okay looking through the colored glasses
I use to carry my guitar in a burlap sack
Walking on my way to rehearsal
I got a three-ring binder in my shoulder pack
I write all the words so I can see them
It was a mile from the swing at Marusso Park
But it didn't matter much to me
I hear the voice from a woman who yells at me
She can try to stop me but she better get out of my way!

My sister Joan wants to meet me at the pattern store
She wants to show me some of her new fashions
My sister Jean wants to save me from this dreaded disease
Because she doesn't want to see bad things happen
And brother Joe he's at the Hollywood Bowl
Because he's always been a Marathon Man
And sister June we're all waiting for the shoe to drop
When Larry brings two dogs back home there's hell to pay

So I took my car to get a brake job
And the girl at the counter was fine
So I asked her if I could just stay there
She looked at the clock and said "we close at five"
I was trying to grab her attention
While her boss was looking down her halter top
I turned my head right in her direction
She said: "Hurry out the door so we don't get caught"
Looking through the glass, looking through the glass
Looking through the colored glasses
Yeah I'm looking through the glass, looking through the glass
Looking through the colored glasses

It took a real tough road to get me back on my feet
I try to stay incognito
I got a blue colored pad and words on the sheet
I try to say what I feel
Avoid old places and friends of mine
Even if it means I'm solo
I try to find the best out of everything
Looking at the world through rojo
I know the answer is staring right in front of me
Looking through the glass, looking through the glass
Looking through the colored glasses
Looking through the glass, looking through the glass
Looking through the colored glasses
The world's okay looking through the colored glasses
The world's okay looking through the colored glasses
The world's okay looking through the colored glasses
The worlds okay looking through the colored glasses
