Now you rest amongst the rust of these roadside monuments In all their former glories The drive-in nights that came and went You fought on hard through rain beaten nights Past the shadows of state lines Now this victory dance, it belongs to you and I Ashtray serenade on these Indian summer nights Out past the cold, dark desert towns Under the neon veiled starlight We crossed the Mason-Dixon Sang with pastures gold and green Now, darling, won't you come on home to me?! I was born in the blizzard of 1977 A southpaw heart with eyes that burned California Lay me down under the night Under a veil of the pale starlight These Midwest girls got nothing on California The winter sky is weeping The factories lie in their graves Like Cold War artifacts Marching in some ghost parade We watched these streets of fire fall and crumble into the sea Now, darling, won't you come on home to me?! I was born in the blizzard of 1977 A southpaw heart with eyes that burned California Lay me down under the night Under a veil of the pale starlight Darling, take me home Won't you take me home? After all the tears I cried for you All the times I tried to let you go Lay me down under the night Under the sadness of this life Darling, take me home Won't you take me home? Now you rest amongst the rust of these roadside monuments In all their former glories The neon nights that came and went You fought on hard through rain beaten nights Past the shadows of state lines Now this victory dance, it belongs to you and I I was born in the blizzard of 1977 A car crashed heart with eyes that burned California Lay me down under the night Under the sadness of this life Darling, take me home Won't you take me home? I was born in the blizzard of 1977 A car crashed heart with eyes that burned California Lay me down under the night Under a veil of the pale starlight These Midwest kids got nothing on California
