Stewart Eastham - Butte County Line Lyrics
You’re the prettiest thing I’ve ever seenAnd it ain’t your words, but what I hear in betweenYou and me should hit the road, we’re bigger than this townCan’t let ‘em break us downThis old white Trans Am will set us freeUnlock our future with these silver keysPortland, Seattle town, or go out Denver wayMaybe head down to LAI know there’s a whole new world for us to findIf we could just get past that Butte County LineDon’t you worry, Patty, I’ll get some cashGot a cousin out in Gridley I can askI got a garbage bag out back, it’s full of cassette tapesSoundtrack for our escapeMy cousin Steve, he said he’d help us outIf I do this thing with him he’s talking aboutI swear to you once this is through, oh the stories we will tellAnd this whole town can go to hellI know one day our stars will alignIf we could just get past that Butte County LineThat night out at Thompson Flats a double cross went downThe cops showed up and beat us to the groundThey said we was the ones who shot a man on Montgomery StreetBut I swear to you, it wasn’t meI swear, my love, it wasn’t meThey say I’m gonna be here for a whileAt the end of May they’re putting me on trialThere ain’t a thing about this life that seems a one bit fairPlease wait for me out thereI know there’s a whole new world for us to findIf we could just get past that Butte County LineI know one day our stars will alignIf we could just get past that Butte County Line
