Rosecrans Boulevard

I've passed a lot of exit signs in my time

While drivin' down this long freeway

To San Diego, and point south

But there was a time last summer

When I came down from Manhattan

And though I knew I shouldn't, it was just too hard

And I made my move at Rosecrans Boulevard

Rosecrans Boulevard, stop your calling me

You know I never loved her anyway

I just used her

Over and over

But there were times when she'd laugh and I think I loved her

One night on Manhattan Beach I said things that moved too fast to suit her

Then I held her close and dried her tears

Rosecrans Boulevard, who cares what you think

The girl was half crazy, the way she drove that little car down Sunset Boulevard

At three in the morning doing ninety miles an hour in a thirty mile zone

And blamed me when she got a ticket

But then there was that smile

It was really what made all the airlines go

She was a stewardess, you know

Shot down on a non-combatant mission

And though I pity it

Every time I drive my car past Rosecrans Boulevard

I wonder why I did it
