Song information
Written way back in 1992 or so, but wasn't fully fleshed out until recently. The lyrics roughly are about the slacker group that seemed to be evident in LA's South Bay area in the early 90's. The "Jack's Place" in the lyrics was the namesake of a bar in the back of Gable House Bowl in Torrance where a lot of second rate top 40 bands would play.

Lyrics
Look to the city with no place to park the rambler
In every corner of the eye
Seems like no one's got the best of dignity
My options have all been refined

Everyone looks at you in the second floor rooms
The winners and the losers, could be destiny masters
I pound the pavement, wreck my shoes, and it's no lie
But then I go to Jack's Place and let the hours fly

CHORUS:
Saving up some fine time
Saving up some fine time
Saving up some fine time
Saving up some fine time

Doing that and doing this in so many ways
In a hundred mile radius, I start a new craze
Though it's been five long years, nobody wants to know
In the end, you get what they owe

Like a salesman beating the door, I'm playing to the floor
Just another wannabe on Hawthorne Blvd
I pound in the pavement in the sun and it's no lie
Then I go to Jack's Place and let the hours fly

REPEAT CHORUS:

I'm done showing my trades, my throat feels dry
At Jack's Place, the house band's gonna make the hours fly
It was 1992, what got into you
Was the year you learned all types of blue

REPEAT CHORUS:

You captured the era nicely.
I was in the San Gabriel Valley in the 90s, not too far from Torrance. Luv that lead guitar near the end!
