Lake Paradise

about

Our brand new summer single for 2021 is all about "getting back" to the good life! As you're busy getting back out there post-covid, take this one along and turn it up, and we hope you all find your own personal Lake Paradise as well!!

(*While "Lake Paradise" serves as a metaphor in this song for getting back to the good, it's also a real life place that was sometimes frequented by a couple members of the band on glorious summer days/nights during our youth. Extra bonus points & a free CD to anyone who sends us a pic of themselves by the cover art's directional sign off of Route 45, in this Central Illinois location ;)

Happy getting back!
VWR

lyrics

LAKE PARADISE
(Kern/Ratts)

I can still remember when I was twenty two
it didn't take a minute for me to fall
to fall in love with you
the day really started when the workday's finally through
and i can hear it calling now
i've got to make it back somehow

but the real world's pressing every day
responsibility
they say "put those childhood things away
come to work with me (stress with me)
work with me (stress with me)"

I'm getting back....
I'm getting back to your sunny eyes
on starry nights by the waterside
I'm getting back to where the pace is slow

Did you ever wake up and not know you're alive?
stuck in autopilot when it really should be you
you should drive
when you're going through the motions
and it all feels far away
can't you hear it calling now?
I've got to make it back somehow

though stress is building every day
I reject it outright-ly
Let's put those toxic things away
come dance with me, dance with me
dance with me, dance with me

I'm getting back....
I'm getting back to your sunny eyes
on starry nights by the waterside
I'm getting back to where my ship comes in
I'm looking out for my dirt road west
some friends and some Milwaukee's Best
I'm getting back to Lake Paradise again

They may say it's a crisis of midlife
but I know its my soul that calls me back to Paradise,
Paradise.....

I'm getting back....
I'm getting back to your sunny eyes
on starry nights by the waterside
I'm getting back to where the sun shines in
I'm looking out for my dirt road west
some friends and some Milwaukee's Best
I'm getting back to Lake Paradise again

I'm getting back to Lake Paradise again
