about

A song inspired by a trip taken to the west coast of America and also influenced by Jack Kerouac's novel 'On The Road'. A song drawing on fact and fiction.

lyrics

I can’t go back to Denver
I left my young love there
Just like I can’t swim up the delta of the Mississippi
And I won’t go back to Denver
Too many painful memories
Too many painful memories of her

And I can’t to Chicago
The cold lake winds they blow
Right through your bones like an arrow
And I can’t go to New York City
'Casue those hanging cloud just ain’t for me
I ain't seen the sun in thirty weeks

But I’ll just hitch
Along route 66
Take it state by state
Let time decide my fate

So I’ll head for San Francisco
There’s a few pals there that I know
They’ll keep me while I get on my feet
And I’ll have to hop a grey hound
Bound along that asphalt road
Not knowing quite where it goes

But I’ll just ride
No companion by my side
Just the thought of you to keep me going
Just the thought of getting back and knowing

That I can’t go to Chicago
New York City or Denver
But I’m back in San Francisco
They say it’s where the kids go
Or is that SanDiego
I don’t know...
