lyrics

In Salinas

There is a town, past the county border,
When you’re coming down Hwy 1, Hwy 1
There in the valley, between the golden hills
There lives a man, lives a man in Salinas

He lives alone in a studio apartment,
He spends his days wondering how to get ahead,
She often thinks that she’d like to go there,
See him again and all the colors in Salinas

Chorus:
But there’s nothing there for her now,
Oh, there’s nothing there for me,
He said he could no longer entertain her,
Still she thinks about that drive
And all the colors in his eyes,
She thinks about that man in Salinas

Well he shuttered all the windows and he closed all the doors
And he dances with his ghosts on the old hardwood floors,
And he told her that he doesn’t want to love her anymore,
It’s too hard to get ahead in Salinas

And the other men who want her love blow kisses through the fog,
But the roads to their hearts are all dead ends, all dead ends,
When you lose everything, you’ve got nothing to lose,
And anyway, she left her heart in Salinas

Chorus:
But there’s nothing there for her now,
Oh, there’s nothing for me,
He said he could no longer entertain her,
Still she thinks about that drive,
And all the colors in his eyes,
She thinks about that man in Salinas,

Yes, I think about that drive,
And all the colors in your eyes,
I think about that man in Salinas
