San Luis Obispo
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.
Well she left me here halfway
Between the bright lights of Los Angeles
And I told you not to simply say
With an ecstasy ivory way
And the backpack full of captain jack
That will take me to an early grave
And I've never been to paradise
Standing on this corner by myself
You don't have to tell me twice
And the worlds gonna end
If I could just pretend
And here's a place to go
San Luis Obispo
And the streets they may look the same
If in any town with any name
Gonna buy my out to blow
In San Luis Obispo
If we're inbetween the light
And loneliness could be a one way flight
In these San Luis Obispo nights
It's where no one seems to mind
If you string words together with
Cigarettes and sparkly wine
Keep the conversation alive
With a tale the girls get underdressed
Then the talk is less for lies
And I could stay here for all my days
Will I spend my life deciding if
If happiness is just a face
And I hope that I'm not wrong
Maybe here is where I belong
Every winter free of snow
In San Luis Obispo
If I could call him back again
I would plead with him till then
Every day my love it grows
In San Luis Obispo
If we're inbetween the light
Where loneliness is never black or white
In these San Luis Obispo nights
If someday you misunderstood
Even if his intentions are good
And all I had was to be left to stand
And if your coming back through town
Put your beard down to the ground
Cause this poor boys is turning into a man
And I thought that I'm not wrong
Maybe heres is where I belong
A winter free of snow
In San Luis Obispo
If I could call him back again
I would plead with him till then
Every day my love it grows
In San Luis Obispo
