[Verse 1]
Heading South a compass reads
Look at our speed, we're going sixty-three
Look out the window as the trees go green
I look at them and they look at me
And got Neil Young on the stereo
He comes along whenever I go
Something different as I hear him now
Heading south on a familiar route, yeah

[Chorus]
I can feel them lifting up my blues
I can see a white horizon, new
Got the feeling I just can't lose
Rolling into Santa Cruz, yeah

[Verse 2]
I've got an old friend, he remembers me
From way back when we were seventeen
We got kids and we're older now
But when I see him, we're still seventeen
I need the beach to set me free
I need the wind to make me breathe, yeah
I need the water to wash my soul
I need my loved ones to let me go, yeah
[Chorus]
I can feel them lifting up my blues
I can see a white horizon blue
I got the feeling that I just can't lose
Rolling into Santa Cruz, oh, yeah
Ah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Up in the North West, we got it good
Little soggy, but we've got it good
Can't help thinking that I wish I would
Move my ass down to Santa Cruz

[Outro]
I got the feeling that I just can't lose
Pulling into Santa Cruz
I got a feeling that I just can't lose
Pulling into Santa Cruz
I got a feeling I don't want to lose
Pulling into Santa Cruz
I got a feeling I just can't lose
Pulling into Santa Cruz, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ah, uh-huh
