Lyrics

Kalifornia Rough Rider


there's a crease in the city
there's a hole in l.a.
I got a niece riding shotgun
with some greasy valet
and I always thought that people would
mean what they'd say
and jeannye's got a rough rider
yeah, jeannye's got a rough rider

she's got me going through the motions
got me counting the daze
forgot to notice all the
speed on display
the boulevard swallows
but won't kiss you that way
and jeannye's in a rough rider
yeah, jeannye's in a rough rider

she's shaking my hand
just like the meek she'll fellate
and then he nods like we're close
but in that way that I hate
she's just some piece from the Valley
must be something I ate, and
they're calling jeannye rough rider
yeah, jeannye is a rough rider

(they said there were)
issues we tried to skirt
and undermine
i need a girl whose world i can call mine

i need a girl whose world i can call mine
i need to twirl the world til it's all mine
i need to say the words so she's all mine
