California Coastline Lyrics

Manfred Mann's Earth Band California Coastline

1. CALIFORNIA COASTLINE
-----------------------
Took off in San Francisco
Hitching up 101
Ended up a flat bed Chevy
Breaking at the setting sun
Slept all night in a (coal hole?)
Though I`d nearly freeze alive
`Cos 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

Get a 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
Somwhere west of everybody else
I`m.... (Out of?) nowhere
Somwhere west of everybody else
