Lyrics

I took three days to drive down one street
 The radio on, tuned to the big fleet
 Invisible planes are cracking the concrete
 That's just what some people say, hey hey
 I put down my blanket on Cigarette Butt Beach
 I saw the old man, he was doing OK
 He's making his last stand on old bottles and cans
 Round there, Calistan way, ooh
 Used to be sixteen lanes
 Used to be Nuevo Spain
 Used to be Juan Wayne
 Used to be Mexico
 Used to be Navajo
 Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't know
 Went in from the weather when I got wheezy
 I play some pachinko I play Pachisi
 And St. Anne is still making me breezy
 In the valley of tar that once was L.A., hey hey
 And my best friend he's the king of karaoke
 He struck up a chord and he took it away
 Out of the pan and into Japan
 Round there, Calistan way, hey hey
 Used to be sixteen lanes
 Used to be Juan Wayne
 Used to be Mexican
 Used to be Espano Nuevo
 Used to be Navajo
 Used to be yippy-ay-I-don't know
