    Story Behind the Song
    Lookin' for answers, and not knowing where to look.

    Recorded in Rob's living room...

    Lyrics
    Tossed a coin in a wishin' well-
    The water was so muddy,
    Couldn't see where it fell
    So I turned around & headed home
    Hoped that it would make it through
    Met a wise man along the way
    He sparkled when he smiled
    But had nothin' to say
    Except "Doin' nothin' ain't a waste of time
    As long as you got nothin' to do"

    Well, I used to have a dream -
    But I hocked it
    Traded for the silver & gold
    You know it put a little change
    In my pocket
    But the jingle & the jangle
    Stopped makin' sense a long time ago...

    Grew my hair just to spite the man
    Traded in a Lexus for a VW van
    Threw away those flannel shirts
    I got at Abercrombie & Fitch
    Made a stop at the thrift shop
    Couldn't get the van into the parking lot
    All the spaces was taken up
    By Volvos & Mercedes Benz

    Well, I used to have a dream -
    But I hocked it
    Traded for the silver & gold
    You know it put a little change
    In my pocket
    But the jingle & the jangle
    Stopped makin' sense a long time ago...

    Sold the van, got a mountain bike
    A pack to stow my gear
    When I go for a hike,
    Wool socks, Birkenstocks,
    A Users Guide to Livin' in Zen
    Thought those changes would do me good
    But I'm still tossin' coins in foutains
    And knockin' on wood
    Guess I'll turn to booze & rock n roll
    Sell the rights to VH-1

    Well, I used to have a dream -
    But I hocked it
    Traded for the silver & gold
    You know it put a little change
    In my pocket
    But the jingle & the jangle
    Stopped makin' sense a long time ago...
