San Diego
I was drivin’ down to San Diego, cryin’ in the rain
When you turned up in my life again
There’s days where I want a lover but today I just need a friend
I was drivin down to San Diego and you turned up again
It’s a hard road, pitiful and cold
When you’re all alone, why be all alone
I’ve been tossed in the ditch, I’ve been strung out on the line
Forgot and left behind with the sun in my eyes
Yes I’ve stood there too, but I guess I saw straight through
What was happening to me, to what I might do for you
It’s a hard road, pitiful and cold
When you’re all alone, why be all alone
See me ridin’, strong and free
Who knows where these winds will carry me.
The closer I get, the more there is to know
Farthest apart I feel you burnin’ in my soul
Steady and clear, pulsin’ like a flame
I’m driving down to San Diego cryin’ in the rain
It’s a hard road, pitiful and cold
When you’re all alone, why be all alone
Well they say you’ve seen God
Like a fire in the sky
Time immemorial there before our eyes
Crying out a prayer, piercing through the land
Askin’ if we’ll follow in the way of the Master’s hand
It’s a hard road, pitiful and cold
When you’re all alone, why be all alone
