Southern Cross |
There’s a lotta folks down at the island |
That follow that astrology |
Some got a chart of the heavens |
And some got a fancy degree |
But me I got a pick-up |
And I drive it like a Fourth of July |
And that’s where I seen the vision |
When it fell right out of the sky |
It said |
Follow, follow the southern cross |
Leave your luck in Mexico |
There ain’t no way to get lost |
Cause there ain’t no place to go |
So I bought me a ticket to Texas |
And I hopped on a plane to Peru |
I met a little lady from Chile |
And she fed me a tropical root |
Now I’m down in Tierra del Fuego |
And nothin' around me is right |
I think I got a case of lumbago |
But it’s better than the northern lights |
I gotta |
Follow, follow the southern cross |
Leave your luck in Mexico |
There ain’t no way to get lost |
Cause there ain’t no place to go |
(HORN SOLO) |
So I paddled out to Easter Island |
About as fast as I could go |
I saw and albatross on the horizon |
And the stone heads all in a row |
I found the secret of navigation |
And the mystery of the Milky Way |
Now I’m livin' in the constellations |
Tell me what more I can say |
You gotta |
Follow, follow the southern cross |
And leave your luck in Mexico |
There ain’t no way to get lost |
Cause there ain’t no place to go |
Whoa! |
(HORN STUFF) |
