"The Way I'm Livin' (Santa Rosa)" lyrics

I'm leavin' Santa Rosa for them Tucson nights
Think I'll get up to Carson City, see them bright blinkin' lights
Adios, old Nevada. Far West to the Golden State
I got my suits together and I'm almost to LA

If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest

I left that angel city for the Frisco Bay
At time it was hard on me, I had to get away
Walkin' with my guitar down Divisidero Street
The people give me money for the way I sing and play

If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest

If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest

You know I really like it in this 49er town
But I've got to step on over to that redwood highway now
Mendocino County bring me lots of joy
It's opened up the eyes of this wanderin' Texas boy

If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest

Oh, believe me I would choose this life over the rest
