Bound for San Diego
With 200 dollars in my hand
South-southwest from Idaho
I went tearing up the desert sand
Ran away from home, y'know
'Cause my old lady kicked me out
I'm not the kind to really mind
But she didn't have to scream and shout
Off to California
Where the land of milk and honey lay
Best keep my fingers crossed
That it really lay the way they say
Knick knack paddiwack
Why don't you throw a dog a bone?
I've come a long, long ways
And I"m missing my mountaintop Idaho home
Ain't taken good rest since
I don't know when
Come sunrise I'll be packing up, heading out
Hitting that old dirt road again
Bound for San Diego
'Cause I had a run-in with the law
Flashing red and blue, boys, well
I sped away before they saw
Now I'm burning rubber
'Cause police call me a wanted man
Car broke down in Reno
So I paid to fix it up again
Bound for San Diego with
200 dollars in repairs
600 miles left to go
And the cops are searching everywhere
Knick knack paddiwack
Why don't you throw a dog a bone?
I've come a long, long ways
And I"m missing my mountaintop Idaho home
Ain't taken good rest since
I don't know when
Come sunrise I'll be packing up, heading out
Hitting that old dirt road again
Bound for San Diego
'Cause I got no place else left to go
Last stop before the borderline
Then I'm on my way to Mexico
Picked up 20 vials on my way through
San Francisco bay
Not my chosen poison
But a man has got to pay his way
One more day of driving and
I feel I'm no worse for the wear
Wind blowing against my face
I know that in no time at all
I'll be there
