Pasadena

Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Where the dirt track meets the highway
And there ain't no time at all
Just a world movin' forward
On a big black motored crawl
And the drivers in their chevrolette's
Ain't got no time at all
To find no lonely hikers way
It's when I wanna say
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Ooh just to find some air that's kind of cleaner
Pasadena town is where I'm goin'
Why did they cut beales rise
To stage coach through newhall
For a mustang pony car
To muss up city hall
Now there's a long freeway
Where the desert used to be
And there's no way that you can hike it
Ooh you'll see
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Ooh just to find some air that's kind of cleaner
Pasadena town is where I'm goin'
Do, do, do, do, do, do do
Do, do, do, do, do, do do
Pasadena town is where I'm goin'
There ain't no other town that I call home
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Ooh yeah yeah
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
Oh no my car won't start
Ooh it's such a long, long way to pasadena
