Jack River – Palo Alto lyrics

[Verse]
Rollin' in the pretty cars
He's fallen behind
Chandeliers and cigarettes
You mays well be mine
I am waiting slowly for these times not to end
He is looking back at me to make sweet amends

[pre chorus]
I won't know where to go
If your love hurts me
I won't know where to go...

[chorus]
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

[pre chorus]
I won't know where to go
If your love hurts me
I won't know where to go.

[Verse]
Carnivals and honey bees
It's just what I liked
Hangin' by the glassy ties
When the dreamer was quiet
You're the kind that walks behind
Till you find what you need
And if the shells aren't perfect
Throw them back to the sea

[pre chorus]
I won't know where to go
If your love hurts me
I won't know where to go.

[chorus]
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

[verse]
Is there a place you know
Where we can stop
Is there a place you know?
It's just how you talk to me that way
It's just how you talk...

We were driving to Mexico
Cruising past the fast cars
And they'll be saying to you
Was she a star you're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

[chorus]
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
Was she a star
You're only asking me now
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

I won't know where to go
If your love hurts me
I won't know where to go..
