The Trip to Pirate's Cove

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 the sunset Drivin' into the sunset
