The Heartbreak Rides

A.C. Newman

Just out of the woods
And yelling down the mountains
All I really wanted was to go downtown
And so we ride the heartbreak slides

Rushing at the modern sunset to your window
Gestured with the bleach in hand, she said, let's go
L.A., she cried, the heartbreak rides for free

Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho

California adds some casual bedlam
Something in the basic swing of things led them
To victimless crimes the heartbreak climbs

Playing with your words and come into headlights
Placards on the interstate, we want the good life
L.A., she cried, the heartbreak rides for free

Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho

Just out of the woods
And yelling down the mountains
All I really wanted was to go downtown
And so we ride the heartbreak slides

Rushing at the modern sunset to your window
Gestured with the bleach in hand, she said, let's go
L.A., she cried, the heartbreak rides for free

Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho
