Well, I had myself a backyard BBQ
invited all my neighbors and invited you
we drank some peerier and we sunned ourselves out by the pool
we talked about religion and politics
the books that we've read and the stars that we've met
the 60's and the 70's and all the drugs we have abused

We put on some music to mellow our minds
Neil Young singing "Comes a Time"
plenty to eat and my jacuzzi was filled with booze
pleasant conversation was easy to make
everyone enjoyed my video tapes
tennis and softball and swimming in the nude

Marin County, where you'll always be amused

We went to the house when it started to rain
had us some smoke and passed the cocaine
feeling kinda laid back and feeling quite subdued
no time to worry about the shape things are in
the course of our lives or how close is the end
living this good life for now is the life that we choose

Marin County, so charmed and so amused
