Going Back To Big Sur - Johnny Rivers

It’s a cold and rainy Friday night

City life’s got me all uptight

My mind keeps wanderin' far away

Vibrations tell me it’s time to leave L.A.

I’m going back to Big Sur

Wish I could leave today

I wanna walk beneath those redwood trees

Just south of Monterey

A little cabin quiet and alone

No television and no telephone

Water trickling down the slow stream

Makes you wonder is it all just a dream

I’m going back to Big Sur

This time I might just stay

I’m going back and straighten out my head

Just south of Monterey

Groovy people all around

Never try to put you down

Makes you feel like someone new

They don’t care who you are or what you do

Guess I’ll drive up Highway One

Dig the ocean, kiss the setting sun

While stars dancing in the sky

Sort of put you on a natural high

I’m going back to Big Sur

This time I might just stay

I’m going back and straighten out my head

Just south of Monterey

And that girl
