When Planets Align

golden coast heatwave


a golden coast heatwave
sky furnace is on blast
a golden coast heatwave
sky furnace is on blast

driving down from Mendocino
hugged the coast, kicked some dust.

when we got to Santa Cruz
we thought we finally had it made
when we got to Santa Cruz
we thought we finally had it made

old man sat on the side of the road
said, slow down, it’s one ten in the shade.

we can’t slow down we hurry
we have a tail on us we fear
we can’t slow down we hurry
we have a tail on us we fear

pray tell us where we get
a fifth of rye, a case of ice-cold beer.

old man sauntered to our side
been waiting for you guys a while
the old man sauntered to our side
been waiting for you guys a while

get out and put your hands where I see them
our cells are cold, he told us with a smile.

judge said, son, you get 30 for this one
thanks judge, I said, we will behave
judge said, son, you get 30 for this one
thanks judge, I said, we will behave

we’ll take a roof, free meal and a bed
any day in a golden coast heatwave.
