lyrics

Tulare

© 1998 by Eric Dahl and John Hawk

There’s a lot of the same kind of towns
in the San Joaquin Valley,
but one place stays in my mind,
it’s called Tulare.
I like the places that promise
you’re heading somewhere:
walnut trees, the mountains,
and a woman with strawberry hair.

Guess I failed to kindle a spark.
She waved her hand
and I drove away in the dark.

I like the freeway
that drops into San Francisco,
I like the way it always settles my mind.
I’m not looking for another unattainable angel.
I like it down here on earth with my own kind.

Guess I failed to kindle a spark.
She waved her hand
and I drove away in the dark.

No use reliving that longing on Highway 1.
101 North to anywhere’s fine with me.
Sometimes losing someone takes you past sorrow,
past the dissatisfaction to a mystery.

Guess I failed to kindle a spark.
She waved her hand
and I drove away in the dark.
