Gene Autry

A man named Gene's got a beautiful voice

He carries me home on his beautiful horse

And where she waits, I will ride ride ride

Come on stranger, just sing me a song

And if it's sad, I'll sing along-long-long,

I told you I knew every word

When I get to California

Gonna write my name in the sand

I'm gonna lay this body down

And watch the waves roll in

And when the city spreads out

Just like a cut vein

Everybody drowns, sad and lonely

Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely

Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely alright

Sweet sweet dreams, and color and sound

Highways in the faraway to be found

I saw gold mines, in the sky sky sky

They were clouds just waiting to cry

And with the wind

I'm dancing drift drift drift

In the shapes of the place that I miss

And when I get to California

Gonna write my name in the sand

I'm gonna lay this body down

And watch the waves roll in

I'm gonna rest this weary head

On someone who I think will care

But when the stars in the sky start fallin

I think you'll understand

That the city spreads out

Just like a cut vein

Everybody drowns, sad and lonely

Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely

Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely alright

Yeah I'm waiting

For something to give

Well I'm waiting

I hope it's not me

Yeah I'm waiting

For something to give

Yeah I'm waiting...
