Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' 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 day surround your daylight there
Seasons cryin' no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
Wishin' on a fallin' star
Watchin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same Chorus
