The Trip To Pirate's Cove lyrics

I took my few belongings,
We headed out to Pirate's Cove
In my buddy's old Defender
We ran until the gas got low.
 
We were flying close to heaven
Everything was starting to glow
Drivin' into sunset
Rollin' cause we had to roll
 
I think he was a preacher
But Lord I can't recall his name
He was running out of wind
But talking to me just the same.
 
He said: five'll get you ten,
But, boy, you've got to stay in the game.
Yeah, you got to let it ride
Or you've only got yourself to blame.
 
We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz
So we partied with some motel maids.
My friend said: I don't like mine
So what do you say we trade.
 
She was a part of my heart,
Now she's just a line in my face.
They let us go with a warning,
Said we'd book you, but we don't have a case.
 
My friend said: take her with you,
To leave her here would be a crime.
But let's get outta Santa Cruz,
All I got is a Canadian dime.
 
I got a friend in Mendocino,
And it's gettin' close to harvest time.
And she was kinda cute
If a little past her prime.
 
On the trip to Pirate's Cove,
On the trip to Pirate's Cove,
Drivin' into sunset...
Drivin' into sunset...
