Going Back To Big Sur Lyrics

Johnny Rivers Going Back To Big Sur

It's a cold and rainy Friday night
City lights got me all up tight
My mind keeps wandering far away
Vibrations tell me it's time to leave L.A.

I'm going back to Big Sur
Wish I could leave today
I want to walk beneath those redwood trees
Just South of Monterey

A little cabin, quiet and alone
No television and no telephone
Water trickling down this little stream
Makes you wonder is it all just a dream

I'm going back to Big Sur
This time I might just stay
I'm going back and straighten out my head
Just South of Monterey

Groovey people all around
Never try to put you down
Makes you feel like someone new
They don't care who you are or what you do

Guess I'll drive up highway one
Dig the ocean kiss the setting sun
Stars dancing in the sky
Sort of puts you on a natural high

I'm going back to Big Sur
This time I might just stay
I'm going back and straighten out my head
Just South of Monterey

And that girl.
