3/5th a Mile in 10 Seconds

Marty Balin


Do away with people blowing my mind
Do away with people wasting my precious time
Take me to a simple place
Where I can easily see my face
Baby, baby I can see that you're fine
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do

Do away with people laughing at my hair
Do away with people climbing on my precious prayers
Take me to a circus tent
Where I can easily pay my rent
And all the other freaks can share my cares
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do

Do away with things that come on obscene
Like hot rods real clean real fine nicotine
Sometimes the price is 65 dollars
Prices like that make a grown man holler
'Specially when it's sold by a kid that's only 15
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do
3/5's of a mile in 10 seconds...
