Mick Brady: Lyrics

Six o'clock alarm and I've only just got into bed

Quick cup of coffee, pull a T-shirt on

Splash a little water around my head

Out on the road, heading west

Early morning light, the world is looking its best

Anything could happen but it just hasn't happened yet

I'm pulling outta Tucson, never felt like this before

Sunrise behind me not a cloud in sight

The sky seems to cling to the desert floor

Road up ahead is straight and clear

I'm gonna burn it up and make it disappear

Nowhere else I'd rather be but here

I'm riding down Highway 10

I never did it before but I'll do it again

Five hundred miles, a hundred degrees

On the road between the desert and the deep blue sea

I got a lot of road behind me but it feels like I've just begun

Across the state line, mountains up ahead

Highway seems to shimmer in the burning sun

Just a few hours till I hit the coast

Cool blue ocean getting close

City Of The Angels, city of hope

Coulda headed for the hills, coulda headed down south

Coulda kept my head down and never left the house
