| Well she left me here halfway
|
| Between the bright lights of Los Angeles
|
| And the tawdry nights of San Jose
|
| With Ecstasy and Ivory wave
|
| And a backpack full of captain jack
|
| To 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 world’s not 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
|
| Of any town by any name
|
| Gonna find my afterglow
|
| San Luis Obispo
|
| The difference between delight
|
| 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
|
| Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine
|
| Keep the conversation light
|
| Wait until the girls get underdressed
|
| Then the talk gets less polite
|
| And I could stay here for all my days
|
| But will I spend my life deciding if
|
| Happiness is just a phase
|
| And I hope that I’m not wrong
|
| Maybe here’s where I belong
|
| Every winter free of snow
|
| San Luis Obispo
|
| But if she’s coming back again
|
| I would flee but until then
|
| Every day my love it grows
|
| San Luis Obispo
|
| The difference between delight
|
| And loneliness is never black or white
|
| In these San Luis Obispo nights
|
| Sorry you misunderstood
|
| This kid with his intentions good
|
| When all I had was two feet left to stand
|
| And if you’re coming back through town
|
| Put your ear down to the ground
|
| Cause' this boy’s voice has changed into a man’s
|
| And I hope that I’m not wrong
|
| baby here’s where I belong
|
| A winter free of snow
|
| San Luis Obispo
|
| But if she’s coming back again
|
| I would flee but until then
|
| Every day my love it grows
|
| San Luis Obispo
|
| The difference between delight
|
| And loneliness could be a one way flight
|
| In these San Luis Obispo nights |
