David Arn - Coastal Highway lyrics

Coastal highway was hazy Convertible Chrysler handling crazy As we drove on the edge of what exists From the dark of the precipice I was riding hard south on the 101 lost, With Marie of Saint Marie, I need a sure way to pay for my paradise cost, She might be the one for me. Such a hot ride to Mexico All these horses on the run And Marie holding pythons over my head Like a waitress in the sun Coastal highway was hazy Convertible Chrysler handling crazy Both good and evil hand you an ever growing list You deserve the one tugging at your wrist Ba** was breaking through the speakers on the radio She was thinking of her husband, His son who was not as strict, How they played guitar at midnight, The way they loved to pick You can take it all in a midsize, When angels dance on thimbles And I'm a drummer out of work, Never nimble with the symbols I said, "Some infinite mercy might do me" She looked away and plainly saw right through me Conviction drifted but with the wind so stiff You couldn't coax a gift horse to the cliff Ba** was breaking through the speakers on the radio There can never be shelter by nightfall When the eighth day has no sunset I was practicing forgiveness For guilt that hadn't shown up yet We pulled into the border No happiness could find us My dollar was short a quarter, Couldn't buy the law of Thomas Aquinas They stole from me at gunpoint All maps of my escape I made a fist, blew the joint, Then backed off from the gate All border lines became visible The Holy Cow said it was still a Brahma Bull And I didn't have a prayer to help me exist
