Composers: N. Chinn ? M. Chapman
I started walkin’ Sunday,
And by Monday I was headin’ out along that freeway line,
Round about a quarter to nine,
I saw a Caddy headin’ north and I was getting’ tired of walkin’.
So I pulled him over to the side,
Say man can you tell me where I can find
Just a little peace of mind,
I’m getting’ tired of city livin’
And the orders I’ve been given,
And the way I see it is I could be runnin’ out of time,
He said man I’ve got just the place,
Where you and freedom come face to face,
I know just how you feel, this place is unreal,
You won’t believe it when you see it.
Man it’s far out of space.
I do declare I want to take you there,
I declare I want to take you where,
Where the people live without it
Don’t concern themselves about it,
‘cos they know they’ve got a reason
And they ain’t about to leave it,
I declare I want to take you there,
I do declare I want to take you where,
Where the honeysuckle’s climbin’
And there ain’t no sense of timin’,
And you’ll never need remindin’
Why you left and why you came out here.
Clare it was just an hour’s drive away,
Now listen close to everything I say,
We passed through the city limits
And Clare what lay within it
Was enough to blow your mind away,
So come on Clare get the hell out of there,
They’ll shut you up and make you tear out your hair,
So don’t you tell me maybe ‘cos you’re tryin’ to be a lady,
They’ve got everything we ever dreamed
We’d ever want to share.
I do declare I want to take you there,
Clare I want to take you where,
Where the people live without it
Don’t concern themselves about it,
‘cos they know they’ve got a reason
And they ain’t about to leave it,
Oh Clare I want to take you there,
I do declare I want to take you where,
Where the honeysuckle’s climbin’
And there ain’t no sense in timin’,
And you’ll never need remindin’
Why you left and why you came out here.
