Palm Springs

Jill Sobule - Palm Springs

Went to the desert

On a mission

To have a vision

Or write a song

I left real early

I left my cell phone

I took the Prius

It gets good mileage

Something's gonna happen

To change my world

I'm on the highway

I pass the windmills

I pass the outlet stores

Soon I'll find the sacred places

I've been searching for

Wild horses

Hawks circling

Gram Parsons, inspiration

Big cactus

Coyotes

Something's gonna happen

To change my world

When I got there

To the motel

It was different

Than on the website

It was crowded

Mostly seniors

There was a bar band playing

"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"

So I went hiking

It was so barren

And it got too hot,

so I turned around (Ooh)

Went to the main drag

I saw the statue

Of Sonny Bono

And he was smiling

Something's gonna happen

To change my world

Wild horses

Hawks circling

Gram Parsons, inspiration

Big cactus

Coyotes

Something's gonna happen

To change my world

Back on the highway

Wave to the windmills

The setting sun in my eyes

Drive to the ocean

That's where we come from

I'll throw my troubles to the rising tide

Something's gonna happen

To change my world

Seahorses

Sharks circling

Brian Wilson, inspiration

Smart dolphins

Waves crashing

Something's gonna happen

I said something's gonna happen (Ooh)

I said something's gonna happen

To change my world
