Big yellow moon guiding Helen the way through Low flew the raven, I wonder what he knew? I got no time to stop for gas this ain’t my neighborhood The pigeons seen I’ve been away, they know I’m doing good Straddling the jagged line that divides both him and you Never mind my heart at home, she doesn’t have a clue Ignoring every red light, straight blowing through the smoke The house has made a call but I’m going in for broke I drive across the valley in my 92
Here comes the sun busting in from out the night No explanations for what comes into the light Busy is the boulevard, with one hundred thousand eyes Curtains like to peak when they know they smell a lie Selling tales of mile long whales around the morning brew Heat comes up I can’t escape, I’m going to do what I’m going to do Looking through my rear view and though it’s looking clear Doom was coming it wasn’t far, in fact it was almost here I drive across the valley, in my 92
Cold was the night, the stars were looking bright Regret was on my heels, I know I ain’t doing right Listen to that engine, just listen to her purr Anything to drown out that memory of her When I reach my Helen, cloaked in her beret I’ll put away my feelings, my guilt and of course my regret Am I lying to myself, hard to see inside the heat But I know that my love at home, is the woman made for me I drive across the valley in my 92
