The Road From Santa Cruz Lyrics

Meet me outside that Laurel House

Lord, I haven't seen your face in ages now

We'll laugh as our smoke floats into the skies

And stumble in the dark when the music dies

There's whiskey for cheap down on Ocean Street

Oh, you can have five and I can have three

And I'll hitch home alone when the bottle's dry

Looking back in the mirror as I leave you behind

The road from Santa Cruz is lined with memories of you

And all of those better days that now are so far away

The road from Santa Cruz is paved with black eyes and bruises

Where am I headed now? I wish I could've stayed somehow

My bed is hard and it stinks of sweat

And I'll spin alone 'til my brain goes black

And in the morning when the daybreaks

I'll feel headaches and heartaches

The road from Santa Cruz is lined with memories of you

And all of those better days that now are so far away

The road from Santa Cruz is paved with black eyes and bruises

Where am I headed now? I wish I could've stayed somehow

And oh, it's such a long road

And I know that there's no going back

No, there's no going back

The road from Santa Cruz is lined with memories of you

And all of those better days that now are so far away

The road from Santa Cruz is paved with black eyes and bruises

Where am I headed now? I wish I could've stayed somehow
