lyrics

All I could Say

On a fine spring day, she ran to me to say she had to go away
Had enough of being taxed, needed to relax, seek out another way
I begged her to stay but she had her own way and that night I slept alone. She headed to the west, thought it was the best never picked up the phone

May God go with you, take care my love, was all I could say
A promised land, I hope you find was all I could say

California was her dream and a biker she was mean and motored all the way. Sun bleached hair, little did she care, she was never clean. My life was pretty frantic and I new she meant it when a postcard came my way, saying I’m missing you my love, though the suns above need you here today

Some people say it’s here, some people say it’s there wherever you want to go, you gotta find your patch, give it a scratch live with what you know. So on that little note missed my boat and stayed in England green found a new way to make things pay and wrote the next day
