(INTRO)
|
|
there's a lotta folks down at the island
|
|
that follow that astrology
|
|
some got a chart of the heavens
|
|
and some got a fancy degree
|
|
but me I got a pick-up
|
|
and I drive it like a Fourth of July
|
|
and that's where I seen the vision
|
|
when it fell right out of the sky
|
|
|
|
it said
|
|
|
|
follow, follow the southern cross
|
|
leave your luck in Mexico
|
|
there ain't no way to get lost
|
|
cause there ain't no place to go
|
|
|
|
so I bought me a ticket to Texas
|
|
and I hopped on a plane to Peru
|
|
I met a little lady from Chile
|
|
and she fed me a tropical root
|
|
now I'm down in Tierra del Fuego
|
|
and nothin' around me is right
|
|
I think I got a case of lumbago
|
|
but it's better than the northern lights
|
|
|
|
I gotta
|
|
|
|
follow, follow the southern cross
|
|
leave your luck in Mexico
|
|
there ain't no way to get lost
|
|
cause there ain't no place to go
|
|
(HORN SOLO)
|
|
|
|
so I paddled out to Easter Island
|
|
about as fast as I could go
|
|
I saw and albatross on the horizon
|
|
and the stone heads all in a row
|
|
I found the secret of navigation
|
|
and the mystery of the Milky Way
|
|
now I'm livin' in the constellations
|
|
tell me what more I can say
|
|
|
|
you gotta
|
|
|
|
follow, follow the southern cross
|
|
and leave your luck in Mexico
|
|
there ain't no way to get lost
|
|
cause there ain't no place to go
|
|
whoa!
|
|
