San Luis Obispo

Intro verse 1 Well she left me here halfway Between the bright lights of Los Angeles And the tawdry nights of San Jose With Ecstacy 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 That here’s a place to go San Luis Obispo And the streets 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 verse 2 Where no one seems to mind If you string your words together with Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine Keep the conversation light Wait until the girls get under-dressed And then the talk gets less polite And I could stay here 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 Interlude x2 Bridge 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 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 could be a one way flight In these San Luis Obispo nights Outro
