The Trip To Pirate's Cove lyrics

I took my few belongings,

We headed out to Pirate's Cove

In my buddy's old Defender

We ran until the gas got low.

We were flying close to heaven

Everything was starting to glow

Drivin' into sunset

Rollin' cause we had to roll

I think he was a preacher

But Lord I can't recall his name

He was running out of wind

But talking to me just the same.

He said: five'll get you ten,

But, boy, you've got to stay in the game.

Yeah, you got to let it ride

Or you've only got yourself to blame.

We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz

So we partied with some motel maids.

My friend said: I don't like mine

So what do you say we trade.

She was a part of my heart,

Now she's just a line in my face.

They let us go with a warning,

Said we'd book you, but we don't have a case.

My friend said: take her with you,

To leave her here would be a crime.

But let's get outta Santa Cruz,

All I got is a Canadian dime.

I got a friend in Mendocino,

And it's gettin' close to harvest time.

And she was kinda cute

If a little past her prime.

On the trip to Pirate's Cove,

On the trip to Pirate's Cove,

Drivin' into sunset...

Drivin' into sunset...
