Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by a purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air In the air |

To each his own it's plain to see
To walk alone you have to be It's all for you and all for me, you'll see I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow I just wanted to let you know Familiar faces that I've seen Turnin' red and turnin' green They just got caught with writing on their sleeve, I guess I'll leave I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more Will I make it through the summer Breaking ties with the old and new Losing one just gains another There is nothing I can do I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are, I'll love you still Will you cancel my papers and lock the door Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will No matter who you are I'll love you still For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow And I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna miss you ... |

There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart She's not the kind to take you down for long She knows and plays it smart (Ah--) And if she's comin' she's shown no more She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door She feels like leavin' and she don't know why Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side All your life You were on your own If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving You'll lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grievin' Oh, oh, oh, oh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ... |

The moon begins to rise upon my fallen eyes
I'm taken back to firelight A drunken dreamer's plan to stay just as I am Amidst the dancing paradise A case of beer, a smile, a motorcycle child I feel the glow surround me And you, and you, and you, and you, and you Orange funnels and snowy tunnels Summer troubles and books in bundles Orange funnels and snowy tunnels And you, and you, and you, and you, and you |

Think I'll write a different song
Got a feeling it might take a long time Singin' it over again, I can't recall just how it used to be Voices across the sea Mm, mm, mm. Will she come to me, to keep me company Won't know till the sun comes up again Gotta take the good with the bad Sometimes I wish I never had my say Always goes that way, or is it just the way I feel today? Voices across the way Mm, mm, mm. Will she come to me, to keep me company Won't know till the sun comes up again Won't know till the sun comes up again Won't know till the sun comes up again Won't know till the sun comes up again Won't know till the sun comes up again Won't know till the sun comes up again |

I've been down to the water
I've been on top of the world Somebody should come and see me Somebody should give me the word 'Cause I don't know how many more I don't know how many more I don't know how many more to see Sometimes the free thoughts clash Sometimes I see through the grass Sometime the light begins to dim Somebody should come and be me Somebody should come and free me 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you I cannot learn much more life I cannot see much more Somebody should stop the new sight Somebody should close the door 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands Can't you see there's food to be grown Got to dig up, dig up the land |

There's just no way to say how much I love you
You never make me cry and that's just fine I've only got my fear to burn above me You know we all get scared from time to time Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child There's just no way to play the things I'm feelin' No way to tell you all the things you mean Every day I only feel like stealin' Away to where I know I can be free Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me when I'm wild Laying down the ways to say I need you Scared of lookin' tall and feeling small Running through the days I have beside you Scared of being wrong, and that's it all Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child |

Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky On your waters I see a strange reflection Rumor has it I'll see you when I die Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California In California you watch the shadow dancer Floating gently, gently on the sea In California you're such a strange romancer Come and see me when the world has set you free Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California |

One more song about movin' along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air (Ah -- --) Filled the room with flowers from Norway Sensed her majesty in the air Made a sign 'bove your doorway, to show I care I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been standing on your corner (Don't go away) Don't go away One more song about movin' along the highway Feel the fantasy in the air I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been waiting every morning Help me make it through the day I've been waiting every morning Just to help you find your way I've been waiting every morning Help me make it through the day I've been waiting every morning ... |
