Lyrics Gino Vannelli

Gino Vannelli

Santa Rosa

Rosa...

Santa Rosa...

Hack jaws and hellions don't you step on my z's

I'm gettin' rather ornery about my natural means

I'll I want is a small piece of the pie

A place in the sun to comfort my eyes

North of L.A. just south of Monterrey

To Santa Rosa

I'm gonna break away

Blue grass and the sycamores and the sweet eucalyptas in the air

Mad dogs and wolf hounds running everywhere

You can go with the flow you can bend in the breeze

Just step to one side and then play the black keys

North of L.A. just south of Santa Jose

To Santa Rosa

I'm gonna do what is right to make a better life

Before it's over

I'm gonna break away

Angels and Lucifer don't you step on my ground

I've got a good god-fearing woman who might just shoot you down

I love her and she loves me

Together we'll raise such a sweet family

North of L.A. just south of Monterrey

To Santa Rosa

I'm gonna do what I can to get the sea and sand

Back on my shoulder

I'm gonna sail away
