Chewing on a piece of grass Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe? Some people say this town don't look Good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know "Cause the free wind is blowin' through your haur And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying 'No despair' Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a faling star Watchin; for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by pirple rain Aw, come on, Joe, you can always Change your name Thanks a lot, son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know "Cause the free wind is blowin' through your haur And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying 'No despair' Alligator lizards in the air ©1972 Warner Bros.
