Lyrics
Heading Down to Santa Cruz
1
No time to argue and worry
I'm tired of working and I'm really in a hurry
To be on that old plane
And heading down to Santa Cruz
2
I've seen that sparkling Pacific
Shine in the moonlight, believe me it's terrific
And you never come round, so
Tell me what I've got to lose.
Br.
You call me on the telephone
You tell me that you're all alone
And lonely
But when I go on over
You only
Talk about your lover.
3
This time it's really your last chance
This is the last call and it's a oneway romance
So say goodbye right here
Or see you down in Santa Cruz
4
I'm tired of this rainy weather
Out on the beach I can put my heart together
Where the big waves roll
And surfers play in Santa Cruz.
5
I'm going, so take a last look now
This is the end, 'cause I'm starting a new book now
I'm a love pioneer,
I'm heading west to Santa Cruz
(And baby you've just got to choose)
