Lyrics
Ventura Highway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Chewing on a piece of grass, walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator, lizards in the air, in the air
Wishing on a falling star, waiting for the early train
Sorry, boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Oh, come on, Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
