Bruce Springsteen - Goin'cali Lyrics
Well hed been hearing too many voices and feelin a little off-trackLike there was something big pressing down on his backSo he called up his friends and they said come on out westIts a place where a man can really feel his successSo he pulled his heart and soul down off the shelfPacked them next to the faith that hed lost in himselfSaid his good-byes and when the dirty work was doneHe turned his wheels into the fading sunFor seven days and nights like a black-top bird he spedMaintained radio silence cept for in his headAnd just like his folks did back in 69He crossed the border at needles and heard the promised land on the lineNow where the transcontinental dumps into the seaTheres a bar made up to look like 1963Girl in the corner eyed him like a hungry dog a boneAs he brushed the desert dust off that mercedes chromeBartender said hey, hows it hangin, tiger?He had a shot of tequila, smiled and whispered lighterHe went down to the desert city where the rattlesnakes playAnd left his dead skin by the roadside in the noon of daySun got so hot it almost felt like friendIt could burn out every trace of where you beenThere was a woman hed met in a desert songA little while later a son come alongLooked at that boys smile and called it homeAnd that night as he lay in bed the only voice he heard was his own
