Midwest Marlin

Know how I told ya I'm leaving California I'm gone in the morning It's true It's true Most my twenties I thought heaven sent me To bet in the movies It's true It's true But I'm going back To where I belong Because now I know What my Dad's said all along Got debt to the ceiling My walls are all peeling The landlord is creeping I'm through I'm through A million submissions Can't get one audition This war of attrition Is through It's through So I'm going back To where I belong Cuz I'm a medium fish Whatever size the pond I'm a California Koi And a Midwest Marlin LA is full of 'em. Oh I'm going back To where I belong Because I'm decent catch Wherever you dig the pond Back to the Midwest Far from the screen tests Where I'm still the best dressed one I know I know I'll marry that girl from high school Who still thinks it's real cool I was taught by James Franco She doesn't know She doesn't know Feels good to home Where I belong Because who needs dreams When you've got a front lawn
