Rosecrans Boulevard - Johnny Rivers

I’ve passed a lot of exit signs

In my time while driving down this long freeway

To San Diego, and points south

But there was a time last summer

When I came down from Manhattan

Though I knew I shouldn’t, it was just too hard

I made my move at Rosecrans Boulevard

Rosecrans Boulevard

Stop your calling me

You know I never loved her anyway

I just used her over and over

There were times when she’d laugh

And I’d think I loved her

One night on Manhattan Beach

I said things that moved too fast to suit her

Then I held her close and dried her tears

Rosecrans Boulevard

Who cares what you think?

The girl was half crazy

The way she drove that little car down Sunset Boulevard

At three in the morning

Doing ninety miles an hour in a thirty mile zone

And blamed me when she got that ticket

Then there was that smile

It was really what made all the airlines go

She was a stewardess, you know

Shot down on a non-combatant mission

And though I’ve hid it

Every time I drive my car past Rosecrans Boulevard

I wonder why I did it
