I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California
Where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah
I’ve been to Hollywood
I’ve been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I’ve been in my mind,
It’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold.
And I’m getting old.
If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without getting killed or caught
I’d be down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain’t bought bought bought
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do
There in the back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac
Saturday night and the bar is packed.
The drinks are watered and the decks are stacked.
The whores are grinning with their faces cracked,
And the gamblers cursing the horses they backed.
Saturday night and the bar is jammed.
We’ve got our table and the rest be damned.
Our waiter’s are hovering near at hand.
We’re loaded earlier than we planned.
Some damn fool is starting a fight,
Why does he wait for Saturday night?
Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein
Here’s another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I’m in an awful way
Howl! Seven days to the wolves!
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near us
They come to take us…HOME
The city - it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow - eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help - I’m falling - I’m crawling
I can’t keep away from its clutch
Can’t have it - this habit
It’s calling me back to my home
'Cause I’m thankful for the day I found you
Feels so good to be around you
Love is calling me home
I finally found what I’ve been looking for
Walking through that open door
Your love is calling me home
