Lyrics

If you wait for a maiden by the tavern tonight
You’ll find quite a lady for your California veins
And if she is arranging a rendevous with fate
You may as well surrender to her sweet and lonely ways

And if you take a ride by the freeways and fields
And you call her by name when you can’t find your way
From San Miguel to Stockton she’s mighty fine indeed
You can see her in the Jupiter or the grapevine tumbleweeds

Thank you Halcyon girl

I don’t want to know how it’s gonna be
When the time comes for you to leave

Shoreline sun out on highway one
With Muddy Waters on an FM radio
Shoreline sun out on highway one
With clarinets and electric fiddle bows

So go on let your golden love glow
Like so long ago

If you take a ride to the tavern tonight
She might come to you when the moment's just right
And loving on her body, it’s easier than sin
The tensions long over before you begin

Thank you Halcyon girl

And I don’t want to know how it’s gonna be
When the time comes for you to leave me
