Pride of Cucamonga
From The Mars Hotel

AOut on the edge of an emEpty highway,
BHowling at the Eblood on the moon,
Big Adiesel Mack truck Erolling down my way,
BCan't hit that Aborder too soon.E  A  E  
ARunning hard out of MuEskrat Flats,
It was Bsixty days or Edouble life,
HaiAl on my back like a shEotgun blast,
HiBgh wind chimes in the nAight.
DOh, oh the Pride of CucaGmonga,C  
DOh, oh bitter olives in the Gsun,C  
DOh, oh I had me some Clovin',
And I Gdone some timeA.E  A  E  
ASince I came down from EOregon, there's a
Lesson Bor two I've leEarned
By Astanding in the road aElone,
StBanding watching the firAes burn.
AThe northern sky it stEinks with greed,
You can Bsmell it heavEy for miles around,
GooAd ole boys in the GreyEstone Hotel,
SiBtting doing that git on Adown.
DOh, oh the Pride of CucaGmonga,C  
DOh, oh silver apples in the Gsun,C  
DOh, oh I had me some Clovin',
AnGd I done some Atime.E  A  E  
AI see your silver shinEing town,
But I kBnow I can't go Ethere
YouAr streets run deep witEh poisoned wine,
YoBur doorways crawl with Afear.
ASo I think I'll drift Efor ol' where it's at,
Where tBhe weed grows Egreen and fine
And Awrap myself around a Ebush of that bright,
WhBoa, on Oaxaca vine.A  
DYes, it's me, I'm the PrGide of CuCcamonga,
DI can see golden forests in Gthe sCun.
