Kurt Gundersen

Lyrics

Meandering paths from days of old
I’m riding up through winding mountain roads
Through aimless valleys down below
To all the places I thought I used to know

From the rocky coastal ocean tides
That rise and fall like a breathing animal
To dry desert Saguaro trees
Whose open arms were once calling me

Chorus:
Memory’s mystical mind
Will take you anywhere
To all the places you’d rather leave behind
To those making you wish you were there
The past is harsh and the past is kind
In memory’s mystical mind

Solo (over verse chords)

Way out in California too
Cliffside beaches sing a lonely tune
Sun dwellers dream of the moon
Latecomers always leave too soon

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
A child of the seventies
I watched my world collapse in front of me
I picked up the pieces and gave my all
Now I’m standing here pretty tall
Ah . . . . ah . . . ah . . . ahhhhh . . . . ahhhhhh

Solo (over verse chords)

I’ve been everywhere from coast to coast
To dreamscapes that I really miss the most
From in the middle of every in between
To nightmare sketches I wish I’d never seen

Repeat Chorus
Repeat end of chorus (2-3 times)
