lyrics

California 101

Tonight I'll be parked off that 101
And I'll rise in the morning
Where the ocean meets the sun
See some old friends
Though I'm just passing by
Waving hello, as I'm saying goodbye

I've met many men out here with crazed eyes
Filled with figments of dreams that materialize
In old, broke-down pickups, wearing wounds from a war
Puffing on re-fried's and bumming for more

If the last of the least receives plentiful riches
When the sky tears apart and the direction switches
Then black cats mean nothing where the redwood trees grow
And I can feel lucky with no place to go

And yes I've been stranded, and yes felt at home
By people surrounded and still felt alone
And taken for granted when the dark stood still
Every place I had to stay seeming surreal

Tonight I'll be parked off that 101
And rise in the morning
Where the ocean meets the sun
See some old friends
Though I'm just passing by
Waving hello,as I'm saying goodbye
