Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chewin' on a piece of grass
Walkin' down the road
Tell me how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
[Chorus]
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
In the air
[Verse 2]
Wishin' on a fallin' star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
[Chorus]
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
In the air
