A letra:
I
could live inside a tepee
I could die
in Penthouse
thirty-five
You could lose me on the freeway
But I would
still
make it back alive.
As long as we can sail away
As
long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on
the rise
As long as we can sail away.
See the losers in the
best bars
Meet the winners in the dives
Where the people are
the real stars
All the rest of their lives.
As long as we
can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in
the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail
away.
There's a road
stretched out between us
Like a
ribbon on the high plain
Down from Phoenix through Salinas
'Round
the bend and back again.
As long as we can sail away
As
long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on
the rise
As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail
away.
