Sand from San Fransisco

[Verse 1]
Well I wasn't there too long
Long enough to be gone
Long enough for me to know it was time to roll on
The dharma told me so

Last time I walked by your street
Past the laborers and merchant marines
Flophouse ghosts gone up in smoke
Just like you and me

[Chorus]
Now I've got sand from San Fransisco in my van
Lord I'd love to get back there someday if I can
But right now I'm headed east
Don't know if I'd ever believe
That I will get back there again

[Verse 2]
Now my memories grow like weeds
Into dreams that can never be
All I got is this empty seat
Reminding me

[Chorus]
That I've got sand from San Fransisco in my van
Lord I'd love to get back there someday if I can
But right now I'm headed east
Don't know if I'd ever believe
That I will get back there again

[Bridge]
Long as I keep rolling
Long as the tires are holding
Long as the tires are rolling
Long as I'm beholding

[Verse 3]
The only thing I know is I've got to drive
So watch the telephone poles tick by
Past it all, the seas, the salt
Past the mountains where it suddenly gets cold
And then down again
Whipped by the wind
Into plains of gold

[Chorus]
Now I've got sand from San Fransisco in my van
Lord I'd love to get back there someday if I can
But right now I'm headed east
Don't know if I'd ever believe
That I will get back there again

I've got sand from San Fransisco in my van
Lord I'd love to get back there someday if I can
But right now I'm headed east
Don't know if I'd ever believe
That I will get back there again
