The sun takes much longer to go down The motel sign across the road Lights up this ghost town And If I had your luck I would have gotten out Your letters say you've settled somewhere new Your girlfriend works a poolside job Your tender bed sleeps two And if I had her luck I would be dreaming too Oh I am burning with desire Oh oh I know Oh oh I know Watching life like California fire Oh oh I know Oh oh I know That I've missed my ride The hounds will sleep tonight What's it like outside of state? Oh I heard the motorway is packed You're living on the lake And if I drank your luck Life wouldn't be the same Oh I am burning with desire Oh oh I know Oh oh I know Watching life like California fire Oh oh I know Oh oh I know That I've missed my ride The hounds will sleep tonight Oh oh oh If I had your luck Oh I am burning with desire Oh oh I know Oh oh I know Watching life like California fire Oh oh I know That I've missed my ride The hounds will sleep tonight
