California Coastline (Alternative Version) Lyrics & Tabs by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
California Coastline (Alternative Version)
guitar chords lyrics
Took off in San Francisco
Hitching up 101
Ended up on a flat bed Chevy
Breaking at the setting sun
Slept all night in the cold, lord,
Thought I'd nearly freeze alive
'Cause all I had was a US blanket
Dated 1945
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
Got loose from jail in three days
(Sheriff had locked my base?)
(Maybe) ... (for Utah?)
Got loose from jail in three days
(Sheriff had locked my base?)
(Maybe) ... (for Utah?)
... the human race
And if I live to be 100
Ain't never going back again
Couldn't think of a colder place to visit
(Or an easier place to sin?)
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
On the California coastline
Trying to have myself a good time
... (out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
I'm ... (out of?) nowhere
Somewhere west of everybody else
