Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me,
how long you're gonna
stay here, Joe
Some people say this town
don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know

Ventura highway
in the sunshine
where the days are longer
and nights are stronger
than moonshine
You're gonna go
I know ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause the free wind's
blowin' through your hair
and the days surround
your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards
in the air, in the air
Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy,
I've been hit by purple rain
Oh, come on, Joe,
you can always
change your name
Thanks a lot, son,
just the same

Ventura highway
in the sunshine
where the days are longer
and nights are stronger
than moonshine
You're gonna go
I know ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause the free wind's
blowin' through your hair
and the days surround
your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards
in the air, in the air
