Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - California Coastline lyrics
[Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - California Coastline lyrics]
Took off in San Francisco hitching up 101
Ended up on a flat bed Chevy
Breaking at the setting sun
Slept all night in the cold, Lord
Thought I'd nearly freeze alive
'Cause all I had was a US blanket
Dated nineteen forty-five
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
Got loose from jail in three days
(Sheriff had locked my base?)
(Maybe, for Utah?) the human race
And if I live to be a hundred
Ain't never going back again
Couldn't think of a colder place to visit
(Or an easier place to sin?)
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
(out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
I'm (out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
Ended up on a flat bed Chevy
Breaking at the setting sun
Slept all night in the cold, Lord
Thought I'd nearly freeze alive
'Cause all I had was a US blanket
Dated nineteen forty-five
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
Got loose from jail in three days
(Sheriff had locked my base?)
(Maybe, for Utah?) the human race
And if I live to be a hundred
Ain't never going back again
Couldn't think of a colder place to visit
(Or an easier place to sin?)
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
(out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
I'm (out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
