lyrics

Faded signs on a highway dim
In the vastness of night without care
On the rusted blade of fate I clutch a hand worn hilt
I cut myself, my clothes, and my hair
Heading out to California
Oh pine breeze carry my bewildered soul
Heading out to California
Luckless wayward child from the shale and coal

A crooked line from the passing lane
I followed into the median
In a ditch near the viaduct I got painted red
Stranded at midnight but not dead
I'm heading out to California
Fell to slumbering between flashes of big diesel lights
Heading out to California
In a spirit’s hazed rest under a studded sky night

Stuck like arrows into the trunks of trees
I climb out on the limbs to swim
To drown or fall into the sea or sky
It’s all done graciously on a whim.
Heading out to California
These high mountain terrains can change a man
Heading out to California
Toward promises of big love and heat soaked sand
