about

Russell-Kaplan

lyrics

Well, I’m the type that likes to drive
The open road unwinds my mind
Behind the wheel, I can leave my troubles far behind
So when I head south from the City by the Bay
There’s more than just a couple of ways
To get to my hometown in old LA
So I flipped a highway coin today.

The Big Sur coast is like a roller coaster
Route 99 is hotter than a toaster
So when I want to make good time
I take straight and straighter Highway 5
I’m coming home, thru the Old Tejon

The hills above Santa Clarita
Are covered with oak and sage and smooth moking a
Breath in that clean mountain air,
Cause in the San Fernando Valley, well there ain’t none there.
I’m coming home, thru the Old Tejon

The hills above Santa Clarita,
Sparkle like jewels on the dress of a young senorita
Laying there across her chest
Heaving up and down like the San Andreas
I’m coming home, through the Old Tejon

There’s trailer trucks and pickup trucks and mini trucks and cars
And if you make all the way down to Hollywood,
There’s a big bowl full of stars
That 50 mile mountain pass
Burns up trannys, brakes and gas
Trucks barrel down with wheels a moking’
Think that cherry top noticed that my taillights broken?

Hauling up the Grapevine, slipping in and outta gear
Uh oh, there she goes…I think I blew a hose!
I’m coming home, through the Old Tejon

The lights above Santa Clarita
Sparkle like salt on the rim of a cold margarita
One more hour and I’m almost home,
To El Coyote where the Songdog roams,
El Coyote where this Songdog’s coming home
Through the Old Tejon
