the duke city is restless tonight
and so am i my darling
too many times have we tried
and still that storks not calling
california
is calling our name we should head there soon
california
is the place we should have our baby
if it's not you it's certainly not me
it's this broken city
i'll find a job some quick money
then a change of scenery

we cast our lots and my name was picked
and i made the slow walk down the hall
i grabbed my gear and then headed out
so i stay here up against the wall
i'm cold but i am like a mountain
no ones moving me till this jobs done
his eyes tonight they look so blue
looking at them i can see the moon
things go too far so we panic
the best laid plans laughing in our face
i go to a place that's nice and quiet
then i stare before i walk away
i won't walk away

start in farmington
i could change my name
don't worry
i can keep the boy safe
i never had a son
you could come with me
if you wanted to
forget about your mother and your brother
your sister and all the others
i can't come back they wont let me
i can't come back they'll come get me

highway 550
02:50
|

|
slowly moving on the highway
passing things as they sleep
how'd i get so far on no gasoline
i must be dreaming
are the police chasing me
or do i have a strange disease
how'd i get so far with no medication
i hope i'm dreaming
cause i'm losing myself in my rearview mirror
he thinks he's sleeping on the couch
so careful i stick to the limit
i hope i'm not dreaming
i'm not losing any interest
though my lights are getting dim
no one's driving down this lonely stretch of highway
i can hear him dreaming

i hope you're not looking for me
i am now travelling by my feet
i sold the car to a navajo
in exchange for some good advice
she said boy
get yourself out of farmington
then he kissed me on my cheek
he said boy
they don't like your type around here
so i'm heading to dove creek
i still want to go to california
but i just don't have the time
but i'm running away from all these bad men
cause what's theirs is theirs but what's mine is mine
so girl
you know where to find me
i'll be sitting here waiting for your call
oh girl
i'll give one one more chance
but i'll only wait till fall

i see you by the water
a tear running down your face
any other day that would have made me sad
but today ain't like any other day
i see them lead you away
as i'm brought down to my knees
don't you wanna see what you've done to me
or is your reward good enough
i guess i'll never see the ocean
or california in the winter
or my little brother who's coming home
i feel slowly faded
like the sun in the west
i see your car in the distance
maybe it's for the best
everyone's laughing except me
i know my time is gone
if you could only see what this would do to me
you would have changed your mind
i guess i'll never see the ocean
or california in the winter
or my little brother who's coming home
i feel slowly faded
like the sun in the west
i see your car in the distance
maybe it's for the best
that i never get to california
