Take a long drive with me On California One, on California One Take a long drive with me On California One, on California One
And the road a-winding goes From Golden Gate to roaring cliff side And the light is softly low As our hearts become sweetly untied
Beneath the sun Of California One
Take a long dram with me Of California wine, of California wine Take a long drown with me Of California wine, of California wine
And the wine, it tastes so sweet As we lay our eyes to wander And the sky stretches deep But will we rest our heads to slumber?
Beneath the vines Of California wine Beneath the sun Of California One?
Annabelle lies Sleeps with quiet eyes On this sea-drift sun What can you do?
And if I said "Oh, it's in your head" On this sea-drift sun What can you do?
(I've heard of ghosts Good ghosts who wander the battlefield at night Guiding soldiers out of danger You can see their omens everywhere Omens warning of stray bullets and lurking enemies If I were such a ghost I would stay so close to you You could feel my breath on your cheek)
We're calling all bed-wetters and ambulance chasers Poor picker-pockets, bring 'em in Come join the youth and beauty brigade Come join the youth and beauty brigade
We're lining up the light-loafered and the bored bench warmers Castaways and cutouts, fill it up Come join the youth and beauty brigade Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Nothing will stand in our way
I figured I had paid my debt to society By paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library, at the library And they said "Son, go join up Go join the youth and beauty brigade"
Come join the youth and beauty brigade Come join the youth and beauty brigade Come join the youth and beauty brigade Nothing will stand in our way
