Well, I picked up a hitch-hiker going south
Said, “Destination, girl?”
And she said, “Further than you'll ever know
Further than you'll ever go”
Through the high red rocks of Spain
Africa by night
With the ocean by your side
Down the coast we'd ride
Down the West Sahara where the lands turn green
Firefly nights on a gaudy sea
‘Neath the melancholy moon
The coast of Cameroon
Through the high red rocks of Spain
Africa by night
With the ocean by your side
Down the coast we'd ride
And I can drive the desert down
Drive the jungle down
Drive the Great Plains down
But you won't be here with me
We set sail from Cape Town bay
And her eyes were so far away
But I didn't say a word
I think that I was heard
Through the high red rocks of Spain
Africa by night
With the ocean by your side
Down the coast we'd ride
And I can drive the desert down
Drive the jungle down
Drive the Great Plains down
But you won't be here with me
Through the high red rocks of Spain
Africa by night
With the ocean by your side
Down the coast we'd ride
Down the coast we'd ride
Down, down, down the coast we'd ride.
