Monterey Video (MV)

I was looking around for a place to cool my head
Ended up in Monterey and caught some frogs instead
Out with Mack and the boys
A different life than I have led
But I thought it seemed nice in my mind
Then I found I was walking away
From that town where I learned how to play
These expectations they will follow you around
But you can't let the bastards grind you down
No you can't let the bastards grind you down
I was watching the tide pulling out into the sea
Turned to your side
Put your head on top of my knee
Drinking mountain dew as the boats got near the sand
Next to a factory where fish are cooked and canned
Then I found I was drifting away
To that town where people work day to day
These expectations they will follow you around
But you can't let the bastards grind you down
No you can't let the bastards grind you down
I was walking around for a place that I could stand
Met Mack and the boys
They were living off the land
I probably couldn't do that
But I liked the idea
Enough to change my point of view
Then I found a city at my feet
From the ground the tide pool looked like a street
These expectations they will follow you around
But you can't let the bastards grind you down
No you can't let the bastards grind you down
No you can't
These expectations they will follow you around
But you can't let the bastards grind you down
No you can't let the bastards grind you down
So
Back to Monterey
Find yourself and you're free
Back to Monterey
Where the joke is on me
Back to Monterey
Take a look and you'll be
Back in Monterey
Back to Monterey
Find yourself and you're free
Back to Monterey
Where the joke is on me
Back to Monterey
Take a look and you'll be
Back in Monterey, hey
Back to Monterey
