Rosecrans Boulevard
I've passed a lot of exit signs
In my time while driving
Down this long freeway
To San Diego, and points south
But there was a time last summer
When I came down from Manhattan
Though I knew I shouldn’t
It was just too hard
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
There were times when she'd laugh
And I'd 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 that ticket
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've hid it every time I drive my
Car past Rosecrans Boulevard
I wonder why I did it
