San Andreas Fault Line Blues |
| Going to California, going to L. A |
| The sunshine burns my eyes, but I stare at it anyway |
| I can only hope to get the hang of it someday |
| I got the San Andreas fault line blues |
| Might’ve once been Eden 'til the angels made their rift |
| And paradise was swallowed in the great tectonic shift |
| But what would mankind know to do with such a gift |
| He got the San Andreas fault line blues |
| I cut up the coastline, I was trying to get free |
| From the missions to the orchards, from the desert to the sea |
| I could hear the voice of Tom Joad whispering to me |
| He got the San Andreas fault line blues |
| When the streets of Bakersfield have all but gone to rust |
| And the cowgirls of Bandit Town will be kicking up the dust |
| And the motorcycle preachers will pray for all of us |
| They got the San Andreas fault line blues |
| One hundred Philip Kaufmans with Sin City patches on their vests |
| And a hundred grievous angels whom in Nudie suits were dressed |
| Drove a hundred red Camaros into a fiery sunset |
| They got the San Andreas fault line blues |
| They got the San Andreas fault line blues |
