Ventura Boulevard

Everyone thinks I’ve been gone for too long

I only went for a ride

Down to the boulevard where I could see

All of the windows and what was inside

Me, I don’t know why she liked me

It was a hayride, a day-ride or more

I can’t remember the time

It was a slow walk, a fast talk for sure

We had an ice cream for only a dime

We had the good time, she wanted

We took a minute and in it I smiled

There in the shade of the day

She liked the man, I admired the child

There was no other and no better way

To spend a good day together
