In the sea of music which featured lyrics and even advocation of drugs, it took a band from Boise, Idaho to set everyone straight, pardon the pun. "Can't you see, no matter what you do, you'll never run away from you." This is the incredible song "Kicks" from Paul Revere & the Raiders.
"Kicks"
by Paul Revere & the Raiders
Written by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil
Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night,
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right
Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl
Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way
Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
[repeat chorus to fade]
