I worked hard, but not for the money
Did my best to please
I used to think it was funny
'Til I realized it was just a tease
Don Quixote had his windmills
Ponce de Leon took his cruise
Took Sinbad seven voyages
To see that it was all a ruse
(That's why I'm) Looking for the next best thing
Looking for the next best thing
I appreciate the best
But I'm settling for less
'Cause I'm looking for the next best thing
Looking for the next best thing
All alone on the road to perfection
At the inspection booth they tried to discourage me
You can believe what you want--that'll never change it
You'll have to come around eventually
(And you'll be) Looking for the next best thing
Looking for the next best thing
I appreciate the best
But I'm settling for less
'Cause I'm looking for the next best thing
Looking for the next best thing
I'm looking for the next best thing
Warren Zevon (1947-2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist known for his acerbic wit and darkly humorous songs. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Zevon spent his childhood in California where he began playing music at age 15. After working as a session musician for artists like Linda Ronstadt and The Everly Brothers, Zevon made his solo debut in 1976 with the album "Warren Zevon". His music often explored dark and ironic themes, blending rock, folk, and country influences. Some of his most famous songs include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon collaborated with numerous prominent artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, and Jackson Browne. His music was influenced by a diverse range of sources, including Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and The Beatles. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2002, Zevon died the following year at age 56. Despite his short career, Zevon left an indelible mark on American rock music.
