At the foot of the San Gabriel mountains I see you smiling
Grinning the grin of an idiot road to nowhere
Yours is a straight smile with curves and all the wrong faces
Oh,
do you mind if I walk the long Englishman laughing like you?
Oh, Mojave Highway, I'm finally going your way
I don't know why I stayed away so long now
Oh, Mojave Highway, I say I'm going your way
My feet know where my heart belong My feet know where my heart belong
You take all of the time that it takes to get practically nowhere
Your mountain sisters would like to weave you some new clothes
Yours
is the loose thread that's ragged in all the right places
Oh,
do you mind if I put on the cloak of the cactus with you?
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I'm finally going your way I don't know why I stayed away so long now
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I say I'm going your way My feet know where my heart belong
My feet know where my heart belong
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I'm finally going your way I don't know why I stayed away so long now
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I say I'm going your way My feet know where my heart belong
My feet know where my heart belong
Just like the hair of a girl when the wind blows
Let the white sand of the long journey blow around me
Take me,
sweet lady,
up highways to where the night goes
And I'll lie down beside you there aimlessly loving with you
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I'm finally going your way I don't know why I stayed away so long now
Oh,
Mojave Highway,
I say I'm going your way My feet know where my heart belong
My feet know where my heart belong My feet know where my heart belong
