The Heart Of California Composer(s): Terry Allen Performer(s): Terry Allen
Runnin' hard and runnin' mean Down the... San Joaquin Diamond Reo with Your Crazy rollin' wheels Theres a moon shinin' bright Like a big eye in the night Yeah throwd her light down on that road to Bakersfield Yeah the heart of Californias Haulin'... hard times again And the highway... she does not make amends That diesel's got to howl But the devil's on the prowl An that white line gone It won't come along again Runnin' wired and runnin' fast Runnin' out of gas Diamond Reo knows what empty means And Jesus Christ on the dash Won't keep it from the crash If ever curve is just your nerves... closin' in Yeah the heart of California's Haulin'... hard times again And the highway... she does not make amends Your names out on the door And your toot's down on the floor But that white line down It won't come around again Yeah the Reo's comin' down Outside of town Strung-out tween the asphalt and the wheel And LA she waits Like a poisonous snake Coiled up with her diamonds in the hills Yeah the heart of California's Haulin'... hard times again And the highway... she does not make amends That road you're runnin' on's Hell bent for Babylon And that white line down It won't come around again And that white line down Will not be found... again
