Chewing on a piece of gra** Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by a purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air In the air
