Heart Of California Lyrics

Heart Of California lyrics

Runnin hard an runnin mean

Down the ... San Joaquin

Diamond Reo with Your Crazy rollin wheels

There抯 a moon shinin bright

Like a big eye in the night

Yeah throw抎 her light down on that road to

Bakersfield

Yeah the heart of California抯

Haulin ... hard times again

And the highway ... she does not make amends

That diesel's got to howl

But the devil's on the prowl

An that white line gone

It won't come along again

Runnin wired an runnin fast

Runnin out of gas

Diamond Reo knows what empty means

An Jesus Christ on the dash

Won't keep it from the crash

If ever curve is just your nerves ... closin in

Yeah the heart of California's

Haulin ... hard times again

And the highway ... she does not make amends

Your name抯 out on the door

An your toots down on the floor

But that white line down

It won't come around again

Yeah the Reo's comin down

Outside of town

Strung-out 憈ween the asphalt and the wheel

And LA she waits

Like a poisonous snake

Coiled up with her diamonds in the hills

Yeah the heart of California's

Haulin ... hard times again

And the highway ... she does not make amends

That road you're runnin on's

Hell bent for Babylon

An that white line down

It won't come around again

An that white line down

Will not be found ... again
