Lyrics
SWEET EMILY WALLY FORD/JACK FRIEDMAN
WHEN THE COMPANY TRUCKS START ROLLING
L.A. FREEWAY BOUND
I'LL BE SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF SAN BERNIDINO
PUSHING THE HAMMER DOWN
'COS THERE'S A GIRL BACK IN THE VALLEY
ONE THAT I LEFT BEHIND
AND I WON'T STRAY WHILE I'M GONE AWAY
SHE'LL STAY ON MY MIND
SWEET EMILY, ROSE OF SALINAS
GONNA' GIVE ME THE LOVE THAT I NEED
IN THE EARLY MORNING, LATE IN THE EVENING
I'LL BE THINKING OF SWEET EMILY
SHE'S MY INSPIRATION
SHE'S MY ONE DESIRE
WHEN I REACH MY FINAL DESTINATION
SHE'S GONNA' BE MINE, ALL MINE
SHE'S A CALIFORNIA ANGEL
THE ONLY KIND YOU SEE THERE
THOUGH SHE AIN'T GOT WINGS
AIN'T GOT A HALO
SHE'S THE GIRL OF MY PRAYERS
SWEET EMILY, ROSE OF SALINAS
GONNA' GIVE ME THE LOVE THAT I NEED
IN THE EARLY MORNING, LATE IN THE EVENING
I'LL BE THINKING OF SWEET EMILY
THROUGH THE DOOR I'M CREEPIN'
AS QUIET AS CAN BE
EMILY'S NOT SLEEPING
SHE'S WAITIN' UP FOR ME
