about

a song about riding public transit alone (in this case, Portland's MAX light rail) and thinking about life

lyrics

Chilly in the house
I'm downtown taking the MAX all around
I know you're spellbound by my beautiful sounds
it's Chill Will the unsung legend of P-Town
I'm around, you just gotta ask for me
and I'm still putting it down for the 503
yeah the whole MAX train car is looking at me
all eyes on me I feel like Michael Flatley
I'm in khakis dressed up head to toe
thinking bout the next place I wanna go
I could hop on the red, green, or yellow
MAX line
and make my way to the
East side
creeping round town but I'm no creep
I peep my peeps walking down the street
they wink at me, I wink right back
through the windows of the MAX
condos where there once was grass
the past gets distance oh so fast
I'd like to think I'm built to last
but time will be the judge of that
on the train, I'm changing the way I think about things I used to say were set in stone (now set in the clay)
I ride the light rail towards a brighter day
It's Chilly Willy
