See I've been here for 28 years.
|
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
|
We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
|
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.
|
[2x]
|
|
We've been burned by all our fears.
|
Just from growing up around here.
|
Our father's factories marked our cars.
|
While Eden burned against the stars.
|
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
I can't take no more regret.
|
It cut us deep, into our souls.
|
Came and climbed into our bed.
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
Meet me by the River's edge.
|
We're going to wash these sins away.
|
Or else we won't come back again.
|
|
You know I had these ballroom dreams.
|
That, as a child, came to me.
|
I was a boy in Grandma's arms.
|
A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
|
And I was full with fiery wonder.
|
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls.
|
You were the only one who understood me then and the only one who will.
|
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
I can't take no more regret.
|
It cut us deep, into our souls.
|
Came and climbed into our bed.
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
Meet me by the River's edge.
|
We're going to wash these sins away.
|
Or else we won't come back again.
|
|
And now I drive the 101 on the California night.'
|
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
|
And they waltz, A BALLET ON THE BOULEVARD, to a place we never kept.
|
And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or If I can go home.
|
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
I can't take no more regret.
|
It cut us deep, into our souls.
|
Came and climbed into our bed.
|
And Sally said, Sally said.
|
Meet me by the River's edge.
|
We're going to wash these sins away.
|
Or else we won't come back again.
|
|
No retreat. No regrets.
|
Meet me by the river's edge.
