Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967 Lyrics - Born And Raised (vinyl) - John Mayer

Walt Grace 

Desperately aiding his whole place 

Dreamed to discover a new place 

And buried himself alive 

Inside his basement 

Tongue on the side of his face meant 

He's working away on his placement 

And what it would take to survive 

Cause when you're done with this world 

You know the next is up to you 

And his wife told his kids he was crazy 

And his friends said he'd fail if he'd try 

But with the will to work hard 

And a library card 

He took a homemade, fan-blade

One-man submarine ride 

That morning 

The sea was mad and I mean it 

Waves as big as he'd seen it 

Deep in his dreams at home 

From dry land 

He rolled it over to wet sand 

Closed the hatch up with one hand 

And peddled off alone 

Cause when you're done with this world 

You know the next is up to you 

And for once in his life it was quiet 

As he learned how to turn in the tide 

And the sky was a-flare 

When he came up for air 

In his homemade, fan-blade 

One-man submarine ride 

Photos 

One evening 

When weeks had passed since he's leavin' 

The call she planned on receivin' 

Finally made it home 

She accepted 

The news she never expected 

The operator connected 

The call from Tokyo 

Cause when you're done with this world 

You know the next is up to you 

Now his friends bring him up when they're drinkin' 

At the bar with his name on the side 

And they smile when they can 

As they speak of the man 

Who took a homemade, fan-blade 

One-man submarine ride
