John Paul Young - Pasadena Lyrics






Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena
Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena

Where the dirt track meets the highway
And there ain't no time at all
Just a world movin' forward
On a big black motored crawl

And the drivers in their Chevrolet's
Ain't got no time at all
To find no lonely hikers way
It's when I wanna say

Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena
Ooh just to find some air that's kind of cleaner
Pasadena town is where I'm goin'

Why did they cut Beales Rise
To stage coach through Newhall
For a Mustang pony car
To muss up City Hall

Now there's a long freeway
Where the desert used to be
And there's no way that you can hike it
Ooh you'll see

Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena
Ooh just to find some air that's kind of cleaner
Pasadena town is where I'm goin'

Do, do, do, do, do, do do...
Do, do, do, do, do, do do...

Pasadena town is where I'm goin'

There ain't no other town that I call home

Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena

Ooh yeah yeah

Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena

Oh no my car wont start

Ooh it's such a long, long way to Pasadena

    Squeak, luv it, always gives me a smile. Got your autograph back when I was only 16. Please forgive me for annoying you in Yamba a few years ago. I have always liked you and was so happy that Molly was okay. Take me back to the 70's & *80's. I have fond memories of back then. Lived opposite Angry in Surry Hills & loved the Angels, ACDC, Dragon, and Cold Chisel. Good times I remember and still love this song.
