From Hank to Hendrix I walked these streets with you Here I am with this old guitar Doing what I do I always expected That you would see me through I never believed in much But I believed in you Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride From Marilyn to Madonna I always loved your smile Now we're headed for the big divorce California-style I found myself singing Like a long-lost friend The same thing that makes you live Can kill you in the end Can we get it together Can we still stand side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride Sometimes it's distorted Not clear to you Sometimes the beauty of love Just comes ringing through New glass in the window New leaf on the tree New distance between us You and me Can we get it together Can we still walk side by side Can we make it last Like a musical ride

In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail You can tell them I'm doing OK doing real well I've got six strings in the morning Rain danced on the roof last night Moon rose without warning Took its time crossing the sky I could tell you about lonely roads and the high way I could warn you about the trouble and the time it takes But California woke up this morning with a sweet refrain Yellow sun beat on the window Light cut straight through the blinds It was love that broke my sorrow Like the day breaks the night Yellow sun beat on the window Light cut straight through the blinds It was love that broke my sorrow Like a day breaks a long night In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail You can tell them I'm doing OK doing real well

Get up get up get up No time to rest or run for cover Get up get up get up Before the road pulls you under Sleeping on embers breathing in rivers Waking up shivering on summer's hottest night Salt crusted sweat dries dusty pin white lines Dreaming you'll find it in the nick of time OOOOOOH Get up get up get up

No sound of a dog bark Only distant hum of cars and wind And dry leaves falling Where the light falls slant She holds the river in her hands November hits the ground A blanket of yellow and brown The rushing of the water drowns out Birdsong and highway sound She's wringing out sun-drenched hair Find her by the river alone She turns to water He turns to stone Stars above her How they shone Watching over The current pulls at her bare feet and her legs Up come a cold breeze Arched trees bend in closer watching She let the wind run his fingers through her hair Let the sun touch her skin Young brown golden He found her by the river alone She turned to water He turned to stone Stars above her How they shone Watching over Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges The road hisses As he slows to leave the highway Streetlights shine on power lines Rain hangs like diamonds A necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night He found her by the river alone She turned to water He turned to stone Stars above her How they shone Watching over Blue smoke in the backyard Snaking high above the barn Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer The colder they are
