The falling of the night
To dawning of the light
I went for a ride out in the Elfin Forest
Thinking I could write
With misty eyes of white
And it'd all be fine by the time I reached the chorus

In the evergreens
I hung my youthfulness
I was waiting for one last caress

San Marcos Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home

The rising of the tide
When my hands were tied
Made sure I'd be fine even when
I thought I'd lost it Swami's Cafe
Down to Mission Bay
Oh, the county line tried to get me not to cross it

But even when I moved to Orange
I could never forget what came before it

San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You're always in my soul
