Jody Mulgrew - Toyota Dolphin
Copied!edit Lyrics
Don't know how it got so shitty
You can blame it on the city
First for going broke then selling off its soul
Or blame it on the boomers
Those who didn't get here sooner
For arriving late and mining all the gold
And if you can't afford the room
Then you can't afford the view
'Cause there's someone out of town willing to pay
Guess I'm only passing through
Got another day or two
Then sail away Toyota Dolphin, sail away
Oh, sail away
I hear there're places out of state
Where a man might find a way to make ends meet
And get a piece before it's gone
Take your California dollar
Someplace you can make an offer
Where folks don't just yet know what they're sitting on
Then you sell that Toyota Dolphin
You don't see them listed often
'Cause there's always someone who's willing to pay
For that chance to start again
Pack your family up and then
Sail away Toyota Dolphin, sail away
And there's no place here for you
It will never be your time we skipped your section of the line
And there's no place here for you
Go and find another dream and sail away Toyota Dolphin sail away
Oh, sail away
And there's no place here for you
It will never be your time we skipped your section of the line
And there's no place here for you
Go and find another dream and sail away Toyota Dolphin sail away
Oh, sail away
You can blame it on the city
First for going broke then selling off its soul
Or blame it on the boomers
Those who didn't get here sooner
For arriving late and mining all the gold
And if you can't afford the room
Then you can't afford the view
'Cause there's someone out of town willing to pay
Guess I'm only passing through
Got another day or two
Then sail away Toyota Dolphin, sail away
Oh, sail away
I hear there're places out of state
Where a man might find a way to make ends meet
And get a piece before it's gone
Take your California dollar
Someplace you can make an offer
Where folks don't just yet know what they're sitting on
Then you sell that Toyota Dolphin
You don't see them listed often
'Cause there's always someone who's willing to pay
For that chance to start again
Pack your family up and then
Sail away Toyota Dolphin, sail away
And there's no place here for you
It will never be your time we skipped your section of the line
And there's no place here for you
Go and find another dream and sail away Toyota Dolphin sail away
Oh, sail away
And there's no place here for you
It will never be your time we skipped your section of the line
And there's no place here for you
Go and find another dream and sail away Toyota Dolphin sail away
Oh, sail away

Song Description:
edit soundcloud"Toyota Dolphin" by Jody Mulgrew is a song that reflects on the changing landscape of a city and the struggles of those trying to make a living in a place that has been taken over by gentrification and corporate greed. The lyrics touch on themes of displacement, economic inequality, and the longing for a fresh start in a new place.
The song paints a picture of a city that has lost its soul, where the working class is being pushed out in favor of those who can afford the high cost of living. The protagonist contemplates selling their Toyota Dolphin, a symbol of freedom and escape, in order to start anew in a different location where opportunities may be more abundant.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of leaving behind a place that no longer feels like home and setting sail for a new beginning. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation, but also a glimmer of hope for a better future outside of the confines of the current city.
Overall, "Toyota Dolphin" is a poignant and reflective song that captures the struggles of those caught in the cycle of urban development and the desire for a fresh start in a world that can feel unforgiving.
