Well she left me here halfway Between the bright lights of Los Angeles And the tardy nights of San Jose With an ecstasy ivory way And the backpack full of captain jack That will take me to an early grave And I've never been to paradise Standing on this corner by myself You don't have to tell me twice And the worlds gonna end If I could just pretend And here's a place to go San Luis Obispo And the streets they may look the same If in any town by any name Gonna find my afterglow In San Luis Obispo If we're inbetween the light And loneliness could be a one way flight In these San Luis Obispo nights It's where no one seems to mind If you string your words together with Cigarettes and sparkly wine Keep the conversation alive With a tale the girls get underdressed Then the talk is less for lies And I could stay here for all my days Will I spend my life deciding if Happiness is just a face And I hope that I'm not wrong Maybe here is where I belong Every winter free of snow In San Luis Obispo If she's coming back again I would plead with him till then Every day my love it grows In San Luis Obispo If we're inbetween the light Where loneliness is never black or white In these San Luis Obispo nights Sorry you misunderstood Even with his intentions good But all I had was to be left to stand And if your coming back through town Put your ear down to the ground Cause this poor boys is changed into a man And I hope that I'm not wrong Maybe heres is where I belong Every winter free of snow In San Luis Obispo If she's coming back again I would plead with him till then Every day my love it grows In San Luis Obispo The difference between delight And loneliness could be a one way flight In these, San, Luis, Obispo nights.
